I invite anyone familiar with Linux or Debian to register here at debiantutorials.org and write tutorials or related articles in order that everyone in the community can benefit. I'm talking to you. You say it better than I do. Your ideas just flow like water. There's so much more that needs to be written in ways that your cousin or an office manager can benefit from. Consider it.

'Guest'  - my root's .bash_history file   |72.74.109.xxx |2007-02-19 11:54:50
I like to save my root's .bash_history file because I run all these commands each time I install a
desktop by way of a clean netinstall installation. Each line of this file was a command that I ran. The
bolded entry is one command. It installs my desktop.

I save it to a
system-files backup directory in my /home/uname directory. Then, after the first reboot following the grub
install part of the Etch installation routine, I reboot, login as root and copy this file back over to the
/root home directory. Then all I have to do is up-arrow to config my setup.

I just wrote, the biggest thank you and your never ever going to see it because your anti-spam refused me and
when it returned all my typing was gone.

I don't know why they can't make the letter readable...

Anyway,
you have the best site ever!!!!!!

Actually, its the only one that I use besides,
madwifi.

my root's .bash_history file
I like to save my root's .bash_history file because I run all these commands
each time I install a desktop by way of a clean netinstall installation. Each line of this file was a command
that I ran. The bolded entry is one command. It installs my desktop.

How do I save a copy of my
.bash_history file?
Then, what do I have to do to that file to run it as a script?

Many
thanks
