But, a long time ago, on a job, I did "init -q" on a SysV box, or was it
BSD? Regardless, it was the wrong one, and I rebooted all our production
machines in the middle of a run.
So, that's why I say you should ignore me telling you to is
I used jigdo-lite to burn myself a powerpc and i386 CD #1 of woody...
But now I remember (with a reminder) that different CDs start different
installations?
But then I found this link, which asks users to test the "new" Woody CD
plan, which will allow any install from CD#1 (author, Ralph Hertzog
Interestingly, I was googling all over the place and I found that if you
want a dual boot debian/macos machine (like me!), and you want to transfer

And here you are, doing almost the same thing.
There might be a future f

I'm _pretty_ confident that the files you downloaded include enough to get
the apropos drivers working.
By the way, getting to the point where you burn your own boot CD is nice

This link includes effective instructions for making the prompt change based
on what you are doing.

The current title of one of my exceed terminals is
user@host /path/to/current/dir
and when I use VIM it becomes
filename = (/pat
.bash_profile works for me
I seem to recall that there are some conf files that aren't read if it has

Just to be sure, put an "echo 'something'" near the top of .bash_profile

Well,

If I just messed up /etc/fstab (1), how can I fix it?
I've got some rescue disks, but NONE for any of my 2.4.x kernels.
