Thanks for all your help - I gave up and re-installed a new flavour, in the end - PCLinuxOS, which I am extremely pleased with thus far. And, if you don't mind a fast learning Linux/wi-fi/OOP/security enthusiast from Melb joining, I think SLUG sounds heaps better than MLUG. Hey - I have cousins i
Thanks Dean, Simon, Zhasper and Martin.
Got crontab to shutdown my PC at a predetermined time thanks to your
assistance.
Martins suggestion of using
shutdown -h 200608142000
is interesting. Will try that next time.
I just wanted to automatically shutdown my Mythtv ( MythDora) PC after a

Do the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives represent all the installed
packages on a standard Ubuntu system?
Can I use this as input to apt-cacher for the purposes of subsequently
updating another box? Eg, breezy to dapper.

Unless you've removed packages, the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives
represent every single package ever installed on that system, reg

Just like you I was also a computing student and you won't really learn
anything if you don't exert any effort in working out these problems. I
did a similar UNIX subject and most people who failed in class did well
in assignments but bombed final exams because they had other people do

Show us what you have done and/or not done, and we will tell you

other ways of doing them b

You're right. I had forgotten this method of redirection as I've always
