You could use:
find directory_name -type f -print | xargs grep "stringIwant"

Subject: EXTREME newbie question. =)

With that subject in place, it makes me feel better. =)
Is there any way to switch between programs (Command shell=Bash) without
having to log into another session (via alt+ctrl+F2,F3, etc)? I guess
an easy way to explain it would be something like DesqView for DOS (I
know, I know, blech!), so you can basically log into one session and
control many fullscreen programs (say Pine, a commandline, vi, etc) and
be able to switch between them, possibly with some sort of common menu
to switch between them?
Thanks!! :)

When I recompile the kernel (2.2.14) I get the following error after
the "make bzImage" command. I did a make dep, make clean and also
mrproper.
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.14/arch/i386/boot'

Does anyone know what this means, and how to fix it?

Subject: Opinions About VMWare Windows Emulator
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 13:03:13 -0600
I read recently about VMWare's virtual machine
system that enables Windows etc to run under
Linux. I wonder if anyone has an opinion about
this product, particularly if there are any
problems with running applications, if it is
stable (or at least as stable as Windows 98
is anyway :-), and how much of a performance
hit it takes.
It seems to me that, assuming there are positive
answers to these questions, that this could
be a serious killer app. I notice that version
two has complete suspend and restore to file
(i.e., no need wait five minutes for a windows
reboot) and this feature alone would sell me
on it. In fact, for many people who work exclusively
with windows, it might be worth running windows
under Linux just to get this latter feature.
(For business use my customers use MS-Windows
and MS-Office, so I need to work primarily with
Windows. But I am a Unix person at heart.)
Since it is not beer or speech free, I presume
the source is not available, or am I wrong?
(One other question, given that this provides
a virtual machine, would this be a good tool for
kernel developers. I.e., run a stable Linux
release natively, but run a development version
in the vm?)

You get around. Did you see post in other NG? Hopefully it has
instructions. Look for a file 'INSTALL' or 'README' either with the
package or on the website where you got it. G'Luck.

Subject: Automounting via Autofs on Debian 2.1.
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 13:15:57 -0600
== Automounting Problems and Linux ==
I'm having difficulty getting Automount/Autofs to work properly on
Debian 2.1:
I'm using version 3.1.1 of the Automount utilities; the Linux kernel
version
is 2.0.36. "autofs.o" shows up in "lsmod" thus:
# lsmod
Module Pages Used by
autofs 2 2 (autoclean)
My /etc/auto.master file looks like:
/amnt /etc/auto.grad
My /etc/auto.grad file looks like:
grad -rw <nfs host>:/grad
The machine on which I'm attempting to automount /grad can successfully
mount
it with the command,
mount -t nfs <nfs host>:/grad /amnt
When I start Automount by the /etc/init.d/autofs script, I get the
following
output:
# /etc/init.d/autofs start
Starting automounter: /amnt /home.
But when I try to access a file in <nfs host>:/grad, via, say, "cat
/amnt/grad/foo",
I get a "no such file or directory" error.
I have similar errors when I use a system with a 2.2.12 kernel, which
has had autofs
compiled-in.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?
Please "tee" all replies to ``hetherwi at math dot wisc dot edu''.
Thanks much.

Try this when looking in C headers, for example:
> cd /usr/include
> find . -name "*.h" -print -exec grep StringIWant {} \;
I am not much of an expert and I don't completely understand that last
bit of syntax, but it works for me. I often like to redirect output
to some file like ~/xyz then browse the results at my leasure. Lots of
stuff is put to the screen by this command, most of which is of no
interest. Browsing the output works best.

this happens when your provider changes your host name.
standard its local host, and its changed to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Then X can not connect to the new host and start any application.
edit /etc/sysconfig/network
change localhost into a name you like (eq mymachine)
edit/etc/hosts
be sure it contains at least
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 mymachine.linuxfan mymachine
where linuxfan is a name you choose.
be sure /etc/host.conf contains at least:
order hosts,bind
reboot your machine

hey.
what about Darwin/PRISS on a linux box? that would be another option. i'm
assuming you want to stay away from a G4 solution
{apple}, and Darwin would allow you to utilize a QT solution from a intel/*nix
box.
I have not personally done this, but am looking into it for a current project
I'm working on.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There is an article in today's NY Times about the productions
for next season at NYCO. There is some nice sounding stuff there
(living in the sticks, I would die to see any of them), but at the
end we get:
the March
28 performance of "La Bohème" is to be broadcast on the PBS "Live from
Lincoln Center" series.
Excuse me? Didn't they just do this two years ago? I have a video
of that production (Cassandra Riddle, etc.); in fact I liked it a
lot and have watched it several times since then. But they are
going to telecast Boheme *again*?
Yes, I understand it is a new production; I suppose that is the
excuse for doing it, but please.... If they feel like they need to
do a war horse can't they pick something that has NOT been on TV in
the last few years (and I know, since I have religiously watched/taped
just about everything opera on TV since I got interested about 5 years
ago)? Either Don Giovanni or Rigoletto would make much more sense,
not another Boheme!!!
