Carefully-crafted regular expressions (as in, e.g., Awk and Perl) can do a lot of this, but it's somewhat inconvenient. You really want a tool that's aware of Internet addresses and can manipulate them as such. I'm sure somebody's got a library for that in Perl... > 2 - How I can extract $omefield (columns?) and print $ame to $omefile after > doin $ummath on $omefield. This is definitely a job for Awk (if it's something not too complicated) or Perl (if you need library support for things like address manipulation). Awk is simpler and cleaner and easier to learn, but more limited, not least because it has no equivalent of Perl's enormous variety of libraries.

I remember about 2 years ago I caught a wicked flu and it wasn't going away. When I did finally get over it, I barely got another one since. I guess that can be the best defence sometimes. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

Also, something that people often don't understand is that many vaccines do not provide foolproof protection against even the exact strain they are made for. They greatly *reduce* the odds of getting the bug, and if you do get it they tend to reduce its severity, but they don't necessarily preclude infection completely. (Notably, even if you are properly vaccinated against smallpox, if you are heavily exposed to it, you can come down with a mild case.)

No that is the compiled kernel, dependencies such as the new module-init-tools will be automatically installed along with it and init scripts modified appropriately so that the 2.4 or 2.6 version of modprobe will get called depending on the kernel you are running. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

They change all the time, It many ways it is actually :) Computer virus detection s/w tends to look for specific signatures although s/w also exists which detects the general signature of viruses (in terms of activity, etc). Similarly an organisms defences against viruses are divided into "Specific" and "Non-specific" immune responses, representing the body's ability to react against known and unknown viruses, respectively.

This allows you to use your current config file as a base for your new system. It'll run you through all the changes in the new kernel (and give you a suggested default). In terms of other resources, I like this one: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html Took me a while to understand everything that was in it (and it is exclusive to Debian). As it suggests up near the top--read the whole thing BEFORE you start compiling. There are steps near the end which are optional and should actually be done at the beginning. emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin Xtrinsic -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
