I'm trying to write a base script which will divide an argument by 10 and then use that argument in another program. Since my argument can be a floating point number, I used bc to accomplish this. Here's an example of a simplified version of what I have so far:
<code>NUM=$(echo "scale=25;$1/10" | bc)
#make sure the first argument was formatted correctly
if [ $? -ne 0 ]

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using an Abit NF7-S V2 mobo to set up my dual boot system where each OS (XP & Ubuntu) will run on a totally separate HD (as opposed to both OS�s being set up on one HD). Since they will be running as stand alone boot drives, how does one set it all up so that one can boot from one or the other? I don�t see how I can do it from the bios. How do I do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe suse 10.0 64 bit partition on my box stops booting when it is setting up the cmos clock. The suse 10.0 32 bit partition boots up without a problem. I never had a problem with the suse 10.0 64 bit partition up until now. Is it possible to fix the problem using puppy linux and editing a configuration file? I do not think it is a hardware issue if the other partition on the drive boots up. Would puppy linux be a good way to backup files from this partition or can I mount the partition using the 32 bit os?

When i restart the linux box,the /sbin/ifconfig is reset to 192.168.100.1 .what should i do so that the linux box /sbin/ifconfig should not change when am rebooting.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI read somewhere that you should not be reading config space to determine the irq value to pass as the first argument to request_irq(). What is the proper way to determine the value of the 'irq' argument before calling this function? Hope this is the correct forum. I don't see one for drivers.

The ide has xp and I installed debian on the sata, the duel boot worked fine and still does. I then installed unbuntu on the sata along with debian but can't access unbuntu. when I tryed to install grub it error'd out so I bypassed that and finished the install. It told me I would need to pass a kernel argument to load ubuntu but I'm clueless about what that means.

I have 1 disk - it has 2 partitions - one an 83 type with a file system in it, holds the kernel, mounts at /boot.
The second partition is an 8e type contains a volume group logically split between lv_root and lv_swap and physically located on sda2. As I understand it, the system is having trouble processing the commands for lv_swap. I am tempted to mess with these commands, but don't have enough know how to do so and am short on the time required to learn enough to master this subject.
