I'm trying to get a backup system going using rsync --- bit of a newbie. Just wondering if there is a way I can get rsync to recognise that a non-gzipped file in one directory tree is equivalent to the same gzipped file in the (say backup) tree, or vice versa. Could this be done with the incl

Replying to self after re-reading the original message... -W will probably help in that it disables the incremental checksum block checking/scanning for the very large files. This is a good option to consider if you have a very fast network. rsync with -W will still probably create the .dest fi

You can install gcc in any directory; you don't need root access to build and install gcc (or any other gnu package) from source code. Just use the --prefix control argument on configure. For example, I have a test hierarchy and say: configure --prefix=/h/paulg/prefix The binaries go into
