hey Tom, can you repost your "update_all" alias too?, I bet
some folks (me) could use that too...
Thanks

alias upall='rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -n
&& ldconfig'
.... also, after large updates, specially for KDE, Gnome,
libs, etc. It's helpful, often mandatory to log out of your
desktop, might as well also re-start X (Ctrl+Alt+BkSp), and
log back in.
where does this go?
At the end of a bashrc file. It then becomes a system command.
~/.bashrc for an individual user, /etc/bashrc to make the command
global. I'd suggest global for a one user desktop, so that the
command is available to both user and root. Of course some
commands like 'upall' require root privledge, and if run as user
will just return "Permission denied" or "Command not found". Be
extra careful with 'root' privledged commands.
Google 'bash aliases' for the whole story.

I know tom just posted the other day the rest of this info and I tried
to search the club knowledge base but when I put "[newbie] mdk10 urpmi
problems" in even with "tom brinkman" in , it just returns a list of
2281 messages. What am I doing wrong. I lost the original replys that
tom sent.
