I used .bak until one time something created .bak and during clean up
delete *.bak. Now I use _orig for day one and _works when playing
around.

Yeah that seems to work pretty good.

Oh man, once again you post so much useful and informative help that
I really have to save this article to go over again at length. Now
how the heck do I save an article in slrn again...?

Have you hit the ?. slrn has different commands during different
screens. Once in an editor, you have to use your editor commands.

Yeah I got that part figured out now.

Excellent idea. I still do it the old fashioned way, keep the
original hard drive and do a major install on a new drive. Then I can
mount the original hard drive as /mnt/old_sys and go back to it and
take what I need from there. Then when I do it again, I really do not
need the original from way back when and can re-use that hard drive.

Yes, I alwasy install in seprate partitions and share common stuff I
create amoung them. /home is included. I have an /accounts
and link my common stuff back to there. Small snippet example.

lrwxrwxrwx bittwister bittwister .bashrc ->
/accounts/bittwister/.bashrc lrwxrwxrwx bittwister bittwister bin ->
/accounts/bittwister/bin/ lrwxrwxrwx bittwister bittwister comp ->
/accounts/bittwister/comp/ lrwxrwxrwx bittwister bittwister .cron ->
/accounts/bittwister/.cron

Dam dude, you are like "light years" ahead of me. <g>
Are you a sysadmin for a living? I do home electronics repair; DLP,
plamsa, LCD, projection, and other TV sets, in home, for a living. I only
do this stuff as a hobby and it sure is deep. So much stuff to learn, too
bad I could not earn money from all the time I put into it. :(


I am running this command in another term as I write this:

rpm -Va | awk '{print $2}' | xargs rpm -qf | sort -u &>
/tmp/verify.package

That command failed sort of, by the way. It started to generate a lot of
error messages and so I killed it. I did end up with a verify.package
file though and it looks pretty informative. Here is some of it to show
you what it did:

[ohmster@ohmster tmp]$ cat verify.package
acpid-1.0.3-2
amsn-0.94-1.1.fc2.dag
apcupsd-usb-3.10.18-1
at-3.1.8-70_FC3
audit-0.5-1
crypto-utils-2.1-4
cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.8.9
desktop-printing-0.17-3...

And there is a lot more of it, just like the above text. I got a lot of
strange executable files in my /tmp directory that started with a # sign.
I tried to cat one of them and blew out my terminal, had to type "reset"
blindly and that reset the terminal again. I had a hard time with files
that start with a # sign. I just had to do a "rm -rf *prelink*" to get
rid of them all. Not sure what that was all about, well, it was an
interesting experiment to say the least.

I am lost already. I really do have to make an eth0 script and get a
good one as all of you suggested, but let's go over this a bit now.

eth0 is created during install. I ususally do not dink with them.
Just used it as an example why copying previous release config files
into a new install can hurt.

The rest of this stuff is way to complex for me at this moment but I will
save it all to peruse at a later date, thanks bit twister.
