Can someone tell me the character to place at the end of a line to split a very long line into several lines and still have the shell interupret the command correctly. The script attached to this email had a "very" long command line.

I'm more than familiar with the idea of community, especially where Linux and OSS are concerned. It was his solicitation that I referred to, not his willingness to help the community. Regardless, I can't seem to find any of your past e-mails where you solicited thanks for passing along someone else's work -- whether you were serious or not. I must have missed that post. Actually, I can't recall _anyone_ else on this list doing that. Hmmm... I guess I'll have to search a little harder, huh.?

Are you related to Patrick by any chance?

Randall, so are you saying that since Terry and I created the image at different times we can have different md5sums and still the same content, with just the file timestamps being different? How, then, can I be sure that Terry and I got the exact same *content* (forget timestamps) that Terry got? (Note: I still haven't burned the image to DVD, since I was waiting for Terry's md5 report.)

I don't know. I don't know that it's possible (or that it's not). Sorry.

I suppose you could mount the image and checksum the contents. That would probably involve one MD5 sum for each file in the image though. If you both redirect to a file you can diff them. -- Paul

So how would I use the md5sum at a Konsole for this purpose? On Windows I can use > md5values.txt for this purpose. Will that work here? md5sum --help doesn't give any direct info on this.

Can I use md5sum *.* or something like that?

Note above. No direct info, and I've not yet gotten good at finding or inducting the indirect info in Linux.

from the control line: md5sum <paths>/<file names> > md5values.txt will give a file with a listing of the md5 values of <file names>. the symbol '>' redirects output from standard out to a file/device, keyword 'redirect'. note: one way to learn is to try (in a *save* environment) to see if it will work another is to look on sites which teach linux/unix: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html this link should get you good, it has _much_ information. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

Thanks Patrick.

another is to look on sites which teach linux/unix: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html

A friend told me that tldp has a big tarball with all howto-s that I can download. Is it true? I was unable to locate such a thing on the tldp site. --    (o-   Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org    //\   subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ...    V_/_  and modern computing efficiency! :)

My 9.3 CD's had only 32 bit. My 9.3 DVD had 32 and 64 bit. I remember because we had to install the 64 bit using a USB DVD drive. I had a problem with 9.1 DVD's - When installing from DVD Apache with PHP just wouldn't run if I did not install X as well. Installing from CDs Apache with PHP worked like a charm without X.

The DVD has the full 64 bit version and a reduced 32 bit version. The CDs contain the full 32 bit version.

The DVD contains both the full 32 bit and 64 bit versions. The CDs contain a reduced 32 bit version.
