Or if we are just trying to have fun with one line scripting...
for i in $(echo '.*');do test -f $i && echo $i; done
And the output of the for...done loop can itself be used as input to
other commands.
mv $(for i in $(echo '.*');do test -f $i && echo $i; done) /path/dir/
But that might trigger an ARG_MAX limit. Better to use xargs.

You might try making the changes and then re-configure setserial per the above command and see what happens. BTW #1: I don't have a /etc/setserial.conf file either, and I used the "autosave once" option on the initial install. Dunno what would have happened if I used one of the other options... BTW #2: I just found a neat GUI program called "gkdebconf" that brings up a small window that lists ALL of the packages that were configured via debconf and thus allows you to select the one you want to run "dpkg-reconfigure" on.

And (i think) are included in the 2.4.x kernel versions. I have tried the udma66 flavor of potato which supposedly includes support for the aec62xx cards (according to kernel-config). I have read many how-to's and docs, no success. Any suggestions, since this is my last hope to get potato installed. Is there a way to execute the potato installation using a brand new pre-compiled kernel? I don't have another linux box, thus can't compile a new kernel with support for the controller myself. PLEASE HELP! And thanks for reading / answering. This is a just a guess, since I don't have access to that controller, BUT you just "might' get lucky with the "bf4" flavor of boot floppies from "testing" / Woody. This particuar set has been built around the 2.4.18 kernel, and they just might have included support for that controller...dunno. In any case, you will know rather quickly when you put in the "boot" disk... the messages will tell you if it found it or not. If it is found, you can proceed with the rest of the install. I would recommend concentrating on Woody and give up on Potato. The changes needed to run a 2.4.X kernel are just too great to make on install media, IMHO (unless you are a real guru). Woody is about to be released as "stable" quite soon, so you probably are NOT giving up much stability, and you will gain quite a lot in flexibility, IMHO.

I don't know if this is still a problem, but the last time I used Partition Magic (I believe it was 5.0) it did everything that I wanted with no problem. Unfortunately, since it didn't ask me if I wanted partitions at the beginnings or ends of free space, I was left with a partition table vastly different from what I had planned out. Then again, I suppose that's more user error than anything. :) parted is very safe. And it's actually quite easy to use.

Exactly. And, actually, if you roll your own kernel "The Debian Way", you won't even need to do that much. The package does it for you. You don't have it so bad now since your Windows partition is FAT32, so you can at least write the bootsect.lnx to it from linux.

What's strange about that? debconf is used during installation of packages (and related taks) to interact with the user. There is certainly no requirement that the user use debconf to maintain their system once it's intalled. I certainly don't do such a thing. Remember, files in /etc/ are not to be touched by Debian packages unless the user explicitly requests so via dpkg-reconfigure. You aren't losing anything by not using debconf after installation. Next time you upgrade your system, debconf won't overwrite the changes you've made to files in /etc/. Not only that, but etherconf itself is definitely not a part of the Debian base install. What I originally said was that there's no need to install additional software in order to reconfigure your network interfaces.

Three things:
1)Thats C, not C++
2)conio.h is not an ANSI or ISO library, it is only used in Windows, I
believe. The only thing I ever really used it for was getch() which can
readily be replaced with getchar() from stdio.h. This is probably the
source of your problems, just drop that include.
3)If you want to compile a C++ program, you will need g++ in addition to
gcc.

conio.h is a dos specific header, there is no good UNIX/Linux equivalent. In
the above example it can be left out. Once you have removed that line the code
will compile.
gcc -Wall -W -pedantic hello.c -o hello
the above line enables all warnings and will help you write clean code.
'hello.c' is the name of the source file you create, it will be output as a
program called 'hello', that is what the -o is for.
A common problem new coders have is they create a file called 'test' this is a
bad name for a program because it has the possibility of being replaced by
/bin/test when you run it.
$ gcc test.c -o test
$ test
$
and nothing happens. TO be sure run all your programs with a path
$ ./test # use the 'test' program in ./ (aka this directory)

Right. ldd /usr/bin/unzip shows libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000) It is something screwed up with 'my' account!

CUPS config. under debian
Running debian woody, to which I am a recent convert from Mandrake. I chose to install CUPS, which I used with success under mandrake. Interestingly, I have both cupsd and lpd running at startup now, but that part I can deal with... My question: I have cupsd running on the mandrake box on my LAN, which now functions as my NFS and SMB server, while the debian box is my workstation. To use cups for printing on the workstation, should I ALSO have cupds running on the workstation? Should it be configured to try to find the printer available through the cupsd instance on the server, or should it be connecting directly to the printer (which is on the network, not attached to any specific computer) via ipp? Any help appreciated; I cannot figure this out from the cups documentation. Configuring cups to browse the network for available printers did not work, even though I followed the cups docs exactly in setting that up... nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

But that doesn't mean you have to give into it :) The easiest way I found (if you do not want Windows on the 1st drive) is to install linux on the primary 1st, then disconnect the drive. Move the 2nd disk to the primary, and install windows on it. Move it back to the 2ndary, put back the linux drive and adjust your bootloader. This way, if you ever bonk your linux drive for any reason, you can still move the Win partition back to primary and let it boot itself. pgplkfviOzlqp.pgp Description: PGP signature

Debian considered harmful? Friday June 28, 2002 - [ 10:57 PM GMT ] Topic - GNU/Linux Advogato: " Some consider it rite of passage to have a Debian-based system. This is not only because it's the true GNU Linux, but perhaps also because it has a reputation of being hard to install. Whether it deserves this reputation or not, there is a certain coolness and mystique associated with Debian as the completely open-source distribution. This attracts hackers, but is Debian the right system for a hacker? Or is Debian merely an unfortunate hurdle for a would-be Linux hacker?"

However, if I try to submit any iptables commands, like: iptables -L I get an error: "modprobe: can't locate module ip_tables iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table 'filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded." So, does this mean I didn't compile it in my kernel as I thought? I assume this is Network packet filtering that I mentioned below. --- Having compiled a 2.4.18 kernel with Freeswan I discover the following problem: When I try to give the command, for example: ipchains -P forward DENY I get an error: "ipchains: Protocol not available" But I see that I the ipchains packet installed. There isn't an ipchains to be configured into the kernel, however, there is the option: Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains), which I'm pretty certain I did check. What is the cause of this?

Setting up a server
Recently I set up a 2.4.18 machine, with which I can connect to the Internet at home on one NIC and the other is connected to a hub with another computer. The internal address scheme is: 10.0.0.0/24. Although the computers have interconnectivity, I can't gain access to the Internet from the 'other' computer. I assume this is because I have to configure iptables. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Thanks Curtis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Following the advice of others more savvy with the app, OneSAF Test Bed (OTB), I went to the app directory and typed make html_docs.

I had to get my Potato net working without the aid of the install scripts, because the install kernal couldn't load my internet card driver, and thus wouldn't let me fill in the network menus. Hunting the net all over, I found all kinds of advice, lots of it not specific to Debian. That specific to Debian listed both the interfaces file you mention, and the init.d/network file. I finally got my networking by setting up the /etc/init.d/network file, and the interfaces file only has an entry for the loopback. After all the Debian stuff I read (they listed their network manual on Debian site as incomplete, I can verify that), I could never quite understand what was what.

How to set serial ports over reboot
I need to use setserial to set the parms on /dev/ttyS3. I can do this, but the settings don't hold over a reboot. "man setserial" refers to "/etc/setserial.conf", but there is no such file. A "locate setserial.conf" doesn't return the location of such a file either, although there are similar files in /var/lib/dpkg and /var/lib/setserial. I assume this is related to the "autosave once" option during install. Can anyone tell me how to get this setting to be preserved over a reboot? (Also, I understand it's a "bug" for a Debian package to ship without a man page; is it also a bug for the man page to be wrong? Should I file a bug report?) Thanks!

hard drive NOT found during install!
Hi, Could you PLEASE help! during installation... my ide controller card is not being recognised by both, potato and woody. It's an Acard AEC6280 Controller (no RAID, includes BIOS). The card is new and works perfectly in Win98, both my primary and secondary hdd's are connected to it. The drive's are too large to be recognised by my motherboards' controller / bios. So that's no alternative. (Both hdd's are Western Digital 40gig Caviar). website for controller: http://www.acard.com/eng/product/adapter/pc/ide/aec-6280.html The linux drivers are avail from: http://161.58.88.33/download/linux/driver/ide/aec6280_ver10.tar (un-compiled c). And (i think) are included in the 2.4.x kernel versions. I have tried the udma66 flavor of potato which supposedly includes support for the aec62xx cards (according to kernel-config). I have read many how-to's and docs, no success. Any suggestions, since this is my last hope to get potato installed. Is there a way to execute the potato installation using a brand new pre-compiled kernel? I don't have another linux box, thus can't compile a new kernel with support for the controller myself.
