Re: [SLUG] A little script i have wrote
cool! I wrote a little script the other day too, this one scans a given range of open ports on any given IP/host - it's a little slow and something like nmap can get more info but I'm pretty happy with it. for those who don't know how to get something like that going simply download the file to your desktop then open up a terminal: cd ~/Desktop chmod +x port.sh ./port.sh On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 8:24 AM, Steffen Schulz pepe...@gmx.net wrote: Hi, On 100526 at 17:00, Josh Smith wrote: I tried to put in in vlc to do the same thing.

Usually, by downloading the older package and installing it by hand. Most distributions make this reasonably practical, more or less. Depending on the architecture you may also have access to older versions through whatever command line package management tool Mint uses; many of them can specify a specific version, and some have access to older versions. That said, I suggest you learn how to resolve the problem: most distributions don't support anything but (close to) the most recent releases of Mozilla products, because upstream are not very helpful if you don't do that, and because they are so incredibly complex and painful that doing it inside the distribution is a losing game. Daniel In other words: even if you can temporarily work around it, at some point you will have to bite the bullet and either move to a less awful mailer, or accept the latest release. -- ✣ Daniel Pittman✉ dan...@rimspace.net☎ +61 401 155 707 ♽ made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
