Re: [newbie] invoking bash scripts

Hi Dean, Likely your system is set up (properly so) without the current directory in the path. To invoke a shell script named, say, foo.sh, type this: ./foo.sh (Notice the leading dot-slash) and it should run. This indicates that the script is in the current directory: dot represents the c

What would be better is to see if you can find a 1.0 SRPM, then do an rpm --rebuild whatever.srpm. This will make sure that the new version is optimized for the Pentium class processors. As far as I've seen though, you can install a i386.rpm on an i586 system. Michael At 03:17 PM 04/14/2001 -04
