It sounds like there's a mass storage device in the hardware with a program that autoruns. So it's true that no software installation is needed, but you still need Windows. This is an increasing common approach with USB hardware for Windows - 3G modems, the Flip video camera - as it means you can use the hardware even if you don't have administrator privileges. -- Neil Bothwick The thrill of victory, the agony of delete. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I certainly have a bug in my head, but I wouldn't like to have to smell what's in yours. I have the weird habit to trust portage, as it works great 99.9% of the time (is that a bug ?). I usually don't read elogs as I usually don't need it. Xorg-1.6 needs a rebuilt of all used X11 drivers, up-to-date or not.

Formatting in Windows reduces the risk of Windows complaining about the format. It may not be standards-compliant, but at least is is consistently broken. I've had cfdisk complain about too many FAT filesystems that apparently work well, so I generally format in the device that will mainly use the filesystem. -- Neil Bothwick An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Also I once had a problem with a fat partition of around 200gb on an removable usb hdd. Windows does not like that big FAT. I think the maximum is somewhere around 70?

It then has 66 successful installs like this one (I guess these are the

Why? It's one single key. Easy to remember. Nothing is easier than
one key instead of needing shift+4-shift+9 to produce "$(" :P
Note you can also nest commands when using $(), which you can't do with

You can, but that is awkward (echo `echo \`echo \\\`ls\\\`\``). But for
a single, not-nested command, `` is lighting fast to type.

So if you create proper partitions sometimes it won't read in other devices/computers. (in linux terms that means you would format /dev/sda not /dev/sda1)

But not as clear as stated above. I've lost count of the number of times
someone has posted a command, on this list or elsewhere, that uses
backticks, then had to explain what backticks are after the other person
used single quotes, not noticing the difference. You even had to explain
it yourself here, which took a lot more than an extra three keystrokes.
I'm not saying don't use backticks, I occasionally use them myself,
although I tend to automatically use $( these days, but using them on a
mailing list only causes confusion.

In that case linux was not able to find a valid partition table. Could be I am getting confused in my old age. :) I have RS-MMC card that I use with an SD adapter, and that has no partition, so maybe that's what I'm thinking about. In general I try to format my cards on the device I plan to use them with the most. So if it's mostly used in Windows, format it in Windows, if it's used in my phone, or my camera, format in that device.

Note also that some languages and keyboard layouts don't favor the use of
the backticks for this case. In Spanish keyboards, this characters: `´^¨
are dead keys (I think that's the correct term, not 100% sure), which means
they don't print anything until you press another key. That means that to
write `foo` I have to actually type `[space]foo`[space], or at least
``foo`` (press the key twice). An in any case it's just a matter of tastes.
Besides that, $() is far clearer, and it allows you to do things like this:
echo $(ls -l $(which tar))
Just an useless example. That, you can't do with backticks.

Partitions are just something you - either you the user, or the manufacturer if they come pre-formatted - put on there. I'm pretty sure that my experience with at least one external hard- drive (USB mass-storage device) was that formatting /dev/sda worked just fine under Linux (and, I think OS X) but was not recognised by Windows XP. IIRC mkfs.vfat gave a warning. When formatted by Windows XP and remounted in Linux the drive was of the /dev/sda1 type of partition layout. This seems to be the opposite of how you describe, unless I am misreading. Stroller.

You can nest commands with ``, it's just less intuitive; each of the following are equivalent: echo $(echo $(echo $(echo $(echo foo echo $(echo $(echo $(echo `echo foo`))) echo $(echo $(echo `echo \`echo foo\``)) echo $(echo `echo \`echo \\\`echo foo\\\`\``) echo `echo \`echo \\\`echo \\\`echo foo\\\`\\\`\`` Yes, that is a *lot* of backslashes in the last one, which is why no one nests that far with `` (personally, I always use $() instead of ``, but that's mainly because I switched my escape for GNU screen from ^A to `). - -- Jonathan -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkrOnkwACgkQOypDUo0oQOqo4QCaA5iPSgyefVeK/clv3Tmb4bZh QHcAnRbc/wufJ7NZlVfy7f3sACQm1ZoY =ewZb -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Yes, I know how it works. I rather meant that you can't nest the backticks in a vanilla fashion, like with $(). Escaping the ticks you can do whatever you want, it's just a matter of making sure the right thing reaches the correct depth in a nested chain of shells, since each time that this kind of substitution it happens in a new subshell. $ pgrep bash | wc -l 6 $ echo $(pgrep bash | wc -l) 7 $ echo $(echo $(pgrep bash | wc -l)) 8 I'll admit I didn't express it in the clearest way. However, this doesn't solve the fact of the accents being dead keys in a lost (most?) languages with a Latin alphabet, but English, nor the problem about the clarity (though that's less an issue when you are working in command line, most times anyway). I have no idea if the accent is a standard character in every keyboard layout, so I am not sure that that is a valid argument on any sane keyboard. I just checked and that accent is even part of the 7 bit ascii table (dec 96), which is as minimal as you can get nowadays unless we are speaking about some exotic embedded stuff or ancient device of the caverns, and in that case, probably the same could apply to $, and even () :P -- Jesús Guerrero

I moved xorg.conf, re-emerged the xf86-input-* stuff and it did do a little better. I bumped the mouse and the pointer moved, then it locked up and my fans started spinning up so I assume the CPU was going nuts. I had to use the Aly SysReq keys to get back to a console. So, I added -hal to my package.use file and re-emerged xorg-server and now it works fine. I hate to say it this way, but hal just plain sucks. I may play with it some later but I'm getting sick of hal big time. It's starting to really leave a bad taste in my mouth. Dale :-) :-)

Some USB sticks are formatted as floppy disks (?) and show up as /dev/sda (instead of /dev/sda1). I have had no problems mounting these in Linux or MSWindows, but wouldn't know how to format them in Linux.
