So here is mine:

PS1="\$(if [[ \$? != "0" ]]; then echo \[\e[31m\]; fi)\n\$(date)\n\\[\e[1m\\]\[\$(dirs)\]\n\\[\e[m\\]"
PS2=""

Features:

• Color change on error return code
• The current date
• The current directory stack (I use pushd and popd)
• Commands start on their own line

And that’s it!  I really don’t need the prompt to tell me what my username is or the hostname of the machine (duh!).

$ cp -a testfile-100M destfile

$ rsync -av testfile-100M destfile
sending incremental file list

sent 56 bytes received 12 bytes 8.00 bytes/sec
total size is 104857600 speedup is 1542023.53

$ touch testfile-100M

$ rsync -av testfile-100M destfile sending incremental file list
testfile-100M

sent 104870495 bytes received 31 bytes 113804.15 bytes/sec
total size is 104857600 speedup is 1.00

I didn’t time it, but the initial cp easily took 1/3rd the time the final rsync did–I would estimate more like 1/4th or 1/5th the time. I’ve always read “speedup is 1.00″ as “this is equivalent to having copied the whole file.” Meaning I gained no speedup over just transmitting the file regularly, as calculated by the algorithm.

I think what might be going on is that when rsync sees the timestamp has changed it transfers the file. But in doing so, it does a diff on the contents which is slower than just copying a file.


wget -c http://fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz
gunzip FDOEM.144.gz
mount -t vfat -o loop FDOEM.144 /mnt/floppy

Put the driver files on the floppy (stay within the space limit)

umount /mnt/floppy
mkisofs -o bootcd.iso -b FDOEM.144 FDOEM.144


Note: The WordPress repository did not support child themes when I uploaded version 1.5.  Therefore, they will not be included in that package.  Please download them from this page below (added).  My intention for the next version is to include all of them in one package with an switching tool on the admin menu to select the one to use.

All you need to do is open wp-postratings/wp-postratings.php and find a line that looks like this:

//add_action('the_content', 'add_ratings_to_content');

Simply uncommenting that line will put the post ratings at the bottom of every post and page. In Dragonskin, I only included it on posts and at the top. To achieve the same, make some modifications to the next block of code, so that it looks like this:


function add_ratings_to_content($content) {
if (!is_feed()|!is_page()) {
$content = the_ratings('div', 0, false).$content;
}
return $content;
}


1. Install the spamwords mod
2. Download Akismet.class.php and put this under your phpBB2 includes/ directory
3. Modify the spamwords.php file so that it looks like this (include your Akismet API at the top):

(1) Create a 2 GB image:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=snapshot.img bs=1024k count=2000 &
You can create a larger image size if you need it, and your burnable media can handle it.

(2) Format it using ext2
sudo mke2fs -m 0 -q -F -b 2048 snapshot.img 1>&2
Honestly, I can’t remember why I was redirecting output to stderr. Maybe I had a good reason for that. But suffice it to say, you simply want to use the file you created to make a file system. For example, instead of the above, you can use something like `mkfs -t xfs snapshot.img`

(3) Mount the image
sudo mount -t ext2 -o loop snapshot.img /mnt/snapshot
For the mount, you want to make sure to use whatever filesystem type you created the image with.

(4) Copy the data, preserving information
sudo rsync -avH --numeric-ids --progress --stats --delete --exclude /proc/ \
--exclude /sys/ --exclude /tmp/ --exclude /var/run/ --exclude /var/tmp/ \
--exclude /mnt/snapshot/ / /mnt/snapshot/
This is an example of copying the entire system (if it’s small enough to fit). In this example, you want to make sure you exclude the mount point for the snapshot, because otherwise you’ll have a recursive rsync that will go on forever. It’s definitely good to make sure you exclude /proc/ and /sys/ too. You could exclude /dev/ since today’s Linux just regenerates it on boot anyway. (If you were porting to other hardware you may want to do this to be “safe” but usually it’s safer to just keep a copy of it.) –progress and –stats are extraneous options, and if you’re a neat freak, you can use –delete-excluded too to make sure those directories are cleared out in case you accidentally copied things over.

(5) Unmount and burn using cdrecord
sudo umount /mnt/snapshot
sudo cdrecord -v -eject dev=/dev/cdrom snapshot.img
You can alternatively use any burning software to apply the image directly to burnable media.

Now keep in mind, that when you want to mount this CD/DVD you will need to mount it by hand, as root, using the filesystem type you burned it with. It’s a good idea to write the fs type on the CD along with whatever else you’re going to call it so you know how to mount it later.


rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress -a --delete -H --numeric-ids --exclude "#*#" --exclude "*~" --exclude "/proc/*" --exclude "/dev/*" --exclude "/var/cache/*" --exclude "/tmp/*" --exclude "/var/tmp/*" descartes:/ /mnt/backup/rsync/descartes/

It has a few other personal tweaks, but if all you really care about is the color scheme, then you can simply download the custom.css file instead. Simply replace custom.css in the Cutline theme with the file below.
