Hi,
Like I said before, I don't do my scripting in bash, but in perl. There
are 2 books that I find indispensible; namely:
Programming Perl by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen Randal L. Scwartz (O'Reilly ISBN
1-56592-149-6)
Perl Black Book by Steven Holzner (CoriolisOpen Press ISBN
I've got a couple of newbie questions that I've just never really
bothered asking before but it's always bothered me, so here goes. 1st,
I've noticed that bash doesn't seem to handle spaces in directory or
file names very well. When I look at my windows partitions from linux,
I can see the
Hi,
when you cd to a directory that has spaces in its name, you have to escape
the spaces with a back slash, e.g.:
[/]$ cd dir\ name\ with\ spaces\ in\ name
[/dir name with spaces in name]$
as for scrolling up, try SHIFT+PGUP.
HTH,

Any ideas?

Ok, to append that last message, I've narrowed it down to Microsoft

(a windows port) and I was able to print a project from publisher. It

Don't forget you can always uses filename completion by typing part of the
name and hitting tab.
As for scrolling back up console screens, you can use SHIFT-ARROW-UP or
PAGE-UP

If you don't need serial ports, disable them. You might be able to enable
USB and still disable its IRQ in the BIOS as well. Disable all unneeded
parallel ports. If he doesn't have any devices on the floppy controller
