I tried manually adding "CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m" to my .config, but it is

I want some commands executed when I login, but not when a shell is
otherwise run, so I put them in my ~/.login, vs. my ~/.bashrc.
Unfortunately, they aren't executed

I'm a long time apt-get user, trying to make sense of aptitude.
I really like aptitude's automatic dependancy tracking; but it keeps
"keeping packages back" whenever I run "aptitude dist-upgrade".
"apt-get dist-upgrade" doesn't keep packages back.

How can I generate a directory listing, including permissions

I frequently use "ls -l" to list files, including their permissions,

their octal values.

I've looked around for a Linux resolver mailing list, but failing that,
I thought I'd ask here.
