What do you mean by "common" a series of commands?

fyi,
In this weeks episode (Chef getting married to a succubus, Cartman has
eye problems), the optometrist sign used the Linux Penquin, except with
glasses. I believe they rerun it on Sat night, they showed it twice. Its
not just similar, its look like an exact copy.
Maybe the artists use Linux?

I did try sndconfig, but the default I/O, ird, etc... that sndconfig
uses does not work. I tried chaning manually myself.
Would you mind telling me the contents of your isapnp.conf and
conf.modules?? and what kernel sound options did you compile as module
or compiled in the kernel?
Thanks,

Thanks for the help, but I am still having problems with windows 9.x and
windows nt.
I can log in to the first phase of the directory, but when I'm in my user
directory, I can't access the directories in there. When I click on the
directories from a windows 9.x or nt it will ask for another password. I
type in the same password that I used to access my user directory, but it
would give me a permission denied! On the linux box, I can access the
other computers with the windows os. Can anyone help? Thanks!

it could be the hardware, when windows accesses the other hd on the same
ide channel, it could be that your hd or mb is getting it confused?
dunno, just a thought...

Using dd presumes equal sizes of HD, that is, if the HD you dd to is
larger than the original, you end up with unuseable space. My previous
post suggests a guaranteed method that copies all the files and
directories across from one HD to another without destroying the
partitions that have been set up on the second HD.

Sid.

I have a script called "hdcopy" appended. You need to mke2fs etc. the
second HD and mount it as /mnt. When the copy is finished, you make
mkdir /mnt and /proc which are excluded in the script.
You need to make a boot floppy, dd if=/vmlinuz (or whatever)
of=/dev/fd0 bs=16k. If you are using a different partition to boot from,
then you have to use rdev on the floppy to point it to the changed root
partition. Boot up on floppy into the new partition, then run lilo,
reboot on the new HD and you are done.
This process has been used succesffuly here up to a few weeks ago and
also by many people I've suggested it to.
Regards
Sid.

This is interesting, as not only have I been looking at the same problem,
but someone else has been posting about it recently too.
In the end I went another route, but you may want to have a look at
expect. It looks like it could do the trick but was a bit too complicated
for me to bother dabbling with given that I'd already got my fix.
