[gentoo-user] Adding output of 'uptime' to python sig
I have a python script that I use currently in my sig and wanted to add a line to show the output of the 'uptime' command. Would someone be able to tell me how to do this? Such as add it as a line under the current sig? Here's the script I'm using: #!/usr/bin/python # change this to point to your file of quotes aff_file = /home/trey/quotes.txt import string, random # hack this at will print -- br print Cheers,br print Treybr print ---br print br # cryptic python stuff which pulls a line from a text file # at random affs = open(aff_file,r) affs = affs.readlines() aff = affs[int(random.random() * len(affs))].split(\n)[0] # print the randomly selected line print aff -- Cheers, Trey --- Adversity is the trial of principle.

Nope, it's not. /etc/make.profile/default-x86-1.4 is a symlink. Drop the trailling / (ls -lh /etc/make.profile -- no final slash), if you still get a listing of files it's is a directory.

[gentoo-user] Realistic Install timeframe
I was thinking of installing Gentoo on my maching starting this afternoon. My machine in a PII400 with 512M RAM, ATI All-inWonder 128 video, CD-RW, 48X CD, Iiyama 450. Would it be realistic if I started install (my first Gentoo install - currently dual-booting WinXP and Libranet 2.7) at stage 1 this afternoon, that I could have a functioning (KDE, email, browser) up and running by tomorrow sometime? If so, I'll probably give it a try. Thanks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
