Re: Need Help Cloning a Drive

I feared this might be the case; clonezilla just isn't quite ready for the new sector sizes. The best suggestion I can make from here is to create a partition table by hand on the destination drive that has the partition sizes and layout you want, then transfer the data one partition at a

PowerPC Recommendations

Hello Hello, Someone just gave me 4 G3/G4 iMac's with OS 9 on them. I am not sure of the specs yet, but I am interested to know if anyone has any experience with Linux on these bad boys? I ran edUbuntu on a G3 years ago and it was awful... I'm hoping the newer versions are better. Any thoughts?

Here is the regular expression: /^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+$/ the ^ requires the pattern match at the beginning of the string. The + requires at least one of these characters, but no upper limit. You can use * if you don't need the lower limit of 1. $ requires the patten match all the way to the end of the

Ah yes, I also forgot the uppercase chars if ($vaidateStr == preg_replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-]/, , $vaidateStr)) { /true, or valid... } BTW also as Eric says, the carrot (^) inside the square brackets means anything but (negation), thus how this works.. Ben On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at

Another way would be if ($vaidateStr == preg_replace(/[^a-z0-9\-]/i, , $vaidateStr)) { /true, or valid... } the i after the last / makes it case insensitive. So it should match upper and lower alpha characters. Ah yes, I also forgot the uppercase chars if ($vaidateStr ==
