Settings -> Configure KMail
Click on the miscellaneous icon, then in the "On program exit, perform the
following tasks", tick the "Expire old messages" check box, you probably want
"Compact all folders" on as well.

Upgrading an rpm system surely requires about the same amount of
downloading as upgrading a debian system. If apache needs an upgrade
because of a security flaw, you download and install.

methods of doing this whilst tracking depen

The package management stuff in RH8 is very nice these

can't see why complicating matters for them would be of

No worries.
I see that I have missed the posting in the CLUG list from Paul in my posting
on Sunday. So we should still have five participants in the meeting.
Also is there anyone that wants an install?

mjb@bofh:~> VAR=ls
mjb@
in the below example nothing;
${VAR} allows substitution without separation. i.e.
VAR=bob
${VAR}IABLE = bobIABLE
whereas
$VARIABLE is undefined
there are also some advanced uses of ${VAR} type constructs, like
${VAR:-OTHERVAR} which evals to $VAR if VAR is set and $OTHERVAR
otherwise
etc..

Okay - I have people interested in a total of 25, so I'm now negotiating
with the leasing company for the cheapest price I can get.
I'll let ya know how it goes, but they probably won't be here for the
meeting on the fifth.
if VAR contains
ls ; rm -rf /
then eval $VAR would run
ls
rm -rf /
whereas eval ${VAR} would run
"ls ; rm -rf /"
and would return
ls ; rm -rf /: Command not found.
