This is a strange notation. Why are you doing that?
Use '-ls' option instead of -print and it works fine:
find . -perm -0020 -type f -ls
This avoids cramming piles of data back to ls and confusing it when you
have things like spaces in the filenames.

I have a Compaq Presario 5660: Pent.II, 128meg ram, 12gig HD. I used
FIPS after doing a defrag, and split my HD into 8gig for my M.S. and
have about 4gig I want for Linux. All went smooth until I went into
Disk Druid, put my cursor on Mount Point, selected hda2 the 4gig and
followed the instruction: "Press F1 to add partition. Enter / for
Mount Point. Select Linux Native, leave default 1 for size and
selected "Growable". I click Ok and get the following:
"There are currently unallocated partition(s) present in the list of
requested partition(s). The unallocated partition(s) are shown below
with the reason they were not allocated.
/............... boot partition too big"
I tried using the supplemental floppy with my CDRom still to no avail.
I am a 'newbie' working from Linux for Dummies and the Red Hat 5.2
included in that CD. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Compaq was of NO help. I am finding nothing on the Red Hat site.

Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 11:47:10 +1000
Quite frankly re-running the tests is a total waste of time. What would
be best is for Mindcraft to publish full and complete details of the
first test. If there is some agreement in place to prevent that we need,
therefore, another test to be run. For simplicity just use everything
'out
of the box' apart from normal configuration changes. Use the same
hardware
and publish every last minute detail concerning the test.
That way we have something repeatable adn therefore a usefull test.
Another question is who could be classed as an official from the Linux
community, apart from Linus of course.

Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 17:32:01 -0500
Hi All,
I'm not sure whether this is posted in the right group or not, but I thought I
would give it a try here first. I have just upgraded to Java 1.1.3 on my
OpenLinux 2.2 system, and am getting the following error when I try to compile,
run, or even use appletviewer:
[root@sluggo bin]# javac /home/Don/HelloWorld.java
It's not ThreadDeath, and there's no exception handler.
This is something I cannot handle.
Now, I'm new to java, but this doesn't seem right. All the app is is a simple
HelloWorld, copied from a source code CD that came with a book I have. Even the
demos that come with the 1.1.3 java distribution fail, both compiling and
running appletviewer or even command line classes.
Has anyone seen this before? If so, what does it take to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help. I searched around blackdown.org but didn't
find anything, and I couldn't find anything in a FAQ, so this was my next try.
Sincerely,
Don

My AMD K6-2 300Mhz, 128 MB RAM, Win98 does a block in 35 hours of normal

This is contrary to the evidence. Instead, violence is escalated.
Violent criminals act more violently in anticipation of violent
responses. American's weirdly distorted perception that the way to
stop violence is to be even more violent gives us kids shooting up
their schools and a prison system bursting its seams.
Instead of building a society based on cooperation and mutual benefit,
the RTKBA'ers advocate building a society based on fear. "Do what I
say or I'll shoot you." "That's right -- that's right, I'm baaaad."
That scheme is a failure, and the jury is in. Unfortunately, the RTKBA
drones ignore the verdict and instead argue that what we need is more
killing, not less.

Not necessarily... But he might.
Roughly speaking, if you resist with anything but a gun, you're more likely
to get hurt than if you don't resist. If you resist with a gun, you're less
likely to get hurt than if you don't resist.
Obviously, there exist scenarios where this doesn't matter... But, more
interestingly, if a lot of people in an area, or in a given group, are known
to be armed, they are much less likely to be attacked at *all*.
e.g., knowing that "many cab drivers" carry guns, most people simply prefer
not to try to rob them; they'd rather find easier targets.
The effects are not all coming from the point where the criminal has a gun
pointed at you; sometimes, it doesn't get that far.

You should check with the Hardware compatability list of the vendor you
are choosing to go with, check the HOWTO's on the CD you have for
hardware-compatability-howto, or you can check one of the online
resources like www.linux.org.
If you haven't added anything major to your system, check

for info about items (best I can tell is that it was last updated in July

What do you mean with "text book for Linux"?
Are you looking for "Introduction to UNIX for beginners", or "Learning
RedHat administration in 20 days", or "What distinguishes Linux from other
UNIX-like systems", or "How to program an operating system for beginners"?
Only the last two might be Linux specific, all others are either general
UNIX related or are even distribution specific.

In the current state of the market, anyone who doesn't at least supply
full source code is going to have a hard time getting respect. It might
not have to be GPL - you might get away with nondisclosure - but it had
better compile with gcc 2.7.2.

Hi,
I have just configured SuSE 6.1 with the updated
samba.rpm. The NT box can see Linux and can logon
to the Linux box using NT4 SP3 (using the active
descktop).
However when I attempt to copy a file to Linux
from NT I get a permissions error. I have
added full permissions to the user on NT.
even with the option of
security=share or security=user in the smb.conf
If I attempt to change the permissions on NT
just in case (to ckeck the permissions)
I get an active desktop explorer error exception.
The active desktop then reverts to the recovery
desktop.
I can copy files from Linux to the NT directory
but not the other way (NT to Linux).
Is there another problem in samba, or is there
another setting in the smb.conf that I have
missed ?
Many thanks

You should have also said, that its always a good idea to copy gz,
tgz or tar files to an empty directory e.g. /usr/tmp or like me to
/usr/test and decompressing them there. This way you avoid filling
up an important directory.
Information on tar can be found with "info tar" or "man tar"
(without quotes).

It was on ftp.linuxberg.com and a bunch of other places a couple weeks
ago. Probably still there.
It is just over 600M, so unless you have a lot of bandwidth to burn, I'd
still buy a CD.
You'll get a CD in the mail faster than you can download the CD via
modem.

Duh! After writing this I thought I'd give it another try. Found
some mention of locks and locking, realised it should all work as it
stands (previous failures notwithstanding), and tried it. Guess what?
It all worked straight out of the trap. I have no idea why it failed
repeatedly in the past - just chalk one up to the great god Glitch, I
guess...
