No me aclaro con Sed y Awk.
Hola a todo el mundo, he estado leyendo las páginas man de sed(1) y awk(1) y la verdad es que no consigo entender del todo como funcionan. Yo lo que necesito es dar como entrada un fichero y que uno de estos programas (¿analizador de cadenas?) encuentre la coincidencia y entonces elimine la línea inmediatamente superior. El resultado que busco es unir cabeceras partidas en los mensajes, que hace que el segundo bloque aparezca como parte del mensaje, cosa que me fastidia porque además es la parte que contiene el `From' y el `Subject'. Hasta ahora lo único que he conseguido es sed -e '2,/^.*cadena_a_buscar;/ d' que elimina desde la segunda línea hasta la coincidencia, solución para nada óptima. Si alguien se le ocurre como hacer eso con éstos o otros programas podría comentarlo, :-) La idea es ponerlo en el `.fetchmailrc' más o menos así: mda formail -s sed -e '2,/^.*cadena_a_buscar;/ d'|procmail Saludos. -- Cosme = -=-=- A través de Debian GNU/Linux -=-=- -=-=- Software Libre -=-=- -=-=- Computadora de 1992 -=-=- http://www.linux.org/ S.O.

Re: Problems installing Linux.
I had the EXACT same problem. Maybe a bug should be written up? Oleg Krivosheev helped me out wonderfully. The solution for me was getting a config file from Oleg Krivosheev who had the same graphics card as I had and get the latest SVGA server. By the way, I have a 6330 Hewlett Packard Pavilion which has a SiS 5598, 2 Meg of video memory available (up to 4, but the BIOS is set for 2). -- The following are the directions he gave me: Hi again That'd be great. If you there is any way you could share what choices I should of made in xf86config or whatever, that would be good too. That way, I can understand better. I appreciate your help, Michael there is no way to get something out of xf86config, 'cause all we have now is XF3.3.2 based. ( I have no idea what he meant by that, but it did not matter. His help was great!) ok, my configuration, as promised: 1. i have hamm (i.e. Debian 2.0) installed 2. installed SVGA X server 3. Go to ftp.xfree86.org or it's mirrors (ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc/Servers/, for example) and get precompiled SVGA server from XF3.3.3 4. gunzip, untar and copy it to /usr/X11R6/bin 5. set the right permissions and edit /etc/X11/Xserver to point to server you just copied 6. copy enclosed file to /etc/X11/XF86Config and set your monitor and mouse parameters i have 2button ps/2 mouse and quite lousy 15 monitor, so if you have better monitor, just set proper VF and HF ranges and your server should start - I've enclosed a copy of the same file.

Re: Installation hangs (and other problems)
Here's some further info I got, apparently from Andrew Martin Adrian Cater [EMAIL PROTECTED], along with some questions/comments by me. Since the return address didn't work, I'm hoping he will catch it here. (Also, I'm trying another address). Just so it doesn't get buried, the highlight is don't do a direct install of xfree86 using the graphical tools from the CheapBytes CDs. [I wrote, in response to his reply...] Thanks for some really useful info. I have a couple of questions, and a comment. On handling the multiple CD's, you [Andrew] write Load the first CD: take what you can from it, then load what CheapBytes calls extras. A lot of work has gone into fixing this for the next release: in the interim, take the CD's individually. The point I ran into trouble was where it asked for the path to the root (e.g., .../stable). Whichever CD I put in, it won't find everything, right? Or were you suggesting entering none for that (as I did) and then swapping CD's when prompted for the individual component directories? Or, on the third hand, are you suggesting making 3 independent passes through the whole dselect routine? Is the fixing you refer to in Debian, or the CheapBytes distribution? Or is it that Debian needs a new option to handle archives split across CD's? I thought copying all 3 CDs to disk would get around the problem, but apparently the symbolic links make a copy occupy far more than 650Mg. So I gave up. The comment: I'm trying to minimize /, so I need other partitions for all else. The way the installation goes, it seems to require separate partitions for each mount point (/usr, /home, /var) to avoid having them dumped onto the root partition. I know I could have just one extra partition and use symlinks, but I don't know if the installation scripts would go for it. One more question: The graphical xfree is broken on Cheapbytes because they have a bad or dated copy? because it doesn't run from a CD? some other reason?

The install targeted the new drive, which is drive 0. I used the Debian 2.0 CD's from CheapBytes. I had run Maxtor's MaxBlast program, which sticks EZ-BIOS in the boot sector to overcome BIOS limitations. I booted off the CD. I tried to give drive parameters at the boot prompt, but it wouldn't take any of the syntaxes I tried were accepted. cfdisk seemed to allow the creation of many logical partitions. I thought they all needed to be within an extended partition. Is that not the case? At any rate, I created logical partitions to hold /, /usr, and swap. IMHO Stick with two partitions unless you really need to split out /home for lots of users. If you have a separate /, this only needs to be small: other wise use a main partition and a swap partition. I elected to install modules for Win95, ppp, a.out, ppp over parallel ports, and some others. If you are planning to use a printer - don't install PLIP initially. I got the message Drive 0: deviation=-4080 during the install. I think you can ignore this: it's probably fdisk setting up a parameter to tell it how the drive responds. Eventually I got a menu of installation types, and picked home (though really I want home + development). Redo this step: don't pick home - instead pick custom which will allow you to pick the individual package bundle selections. Alternatively, skip this step: install purely the base system and then install individual packages from dselect - this takes much longer but will allow you to select individual packages. I started walking through dselect. It wouldn't take a pointer to my CD for the whole package, and made me walk through the locations of the individual parts. I think the problem was that the CD only contained some of the parts (not contrib or non-free, which are on some of the other CDs in the set). I there a way to make dselect happy when installation materials are spread across several CDs? Load the first CD: take what you can from it, then load what CheapBytes calls extras. A lot of work has gone into fixing this for the next release: in the interim, take the CD's individually. wwwdialup complained it couldn't find a modem (hardware problem, unrelated to Debian). Then I got to the xfree86 install. A very short way through it started to do the config file. I ran into trouble, and said n to installing it. At this point it hung.

I'm stalling remote users (volunteer projects) until this situation is remedied. I recently had the same problem with Hamm. 'passwd' would never accept anything I'd type. Eventually through trial and error, I blundered into this remedy, which may work for you: As root run 'adduser'. Make the username to add 'root'. For me it complained that it wouldn't add 'root', but then it asked for a password anyway. I typed it, and now 'root' has a password like it should. I'm not really sure what caused this problem to begin with though. I may have hit Enter or Ctrl-C when being asked the first time; wish I could recall the circumstances exactly.
