[newbie]
I was wondering if M10.1 already has a Webmail package. If not, I'm looking for suggestions on one. The only one I know of is SquirrelMail. Thanks! Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

I've used the adapter on other models. I use others on a KVM that only has PS2 and it works with no issues. You make a good point. I shouldn't assume this mouse works in a similar manner. -- Regards, Matt Florido Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Wireless Mouse
Just wondering if anyone has had success using a wireless mouse on M10.1? I can't seem to get the basic mouse from MS to work correct. I'm using a USB to PS2 adapter. It should function like a standard PS2 3-button mouse w/ scroll wheel. Thanks! -- Regards, Matt Florido Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Be sure you leave the quotes around "$image". > Hi Todd, I am using bash. You're correct. For some reason, I removed the quotes when I add "mv". mv $image test/$FCNT-$NAME$EXT changed it to: mv "$image" test/$FCNT-$NAME$EXT and now all is well!!

When specifying a name that contains a space, mv interprets it as multiple files as well. A backslash needs to be added somehow so that mv knows it's a single file. ab\ cd.jpg ==> 01-pic.jpg -- Regards, Matt Florido Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Script to change multiple filenames
I was wondering if someone could assist me in creating a shell script that will take the contents of a directory and rename them a certain way. For example - 4 files in a directory: a.jpg ab.jpg abc.jpg abcd.jpg Renamed as: 1-pic.jpg 2-pic.jpg 3-pic.jpg 4-pic.jpg So it takes the contents of the directory regardless of the current filename, and renames them in an incrementing format. ((N+1) + "-something.jpg") -- Regards, Matt Florido Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
