Slackware-13.1-Hacks-Emptying tmp

Posted 01-01-2011 at 10:09 PM by arniekat

# This will empty the /tmp folder when you shutdown or
# reboot the machine
# Add this line to /etc/rc.d/rc.6

echo "Emptying /tmp"
rm /tmp/* -rf &1>2 > /dev/null

The /dev/null part gets rid of any output/error codes.

I placed it between the following sections in /etc/rc.d/rc.6

The perfect Linux distro: One with a GUI packed into the initrd

Posted 01-01-2011 at 01:17 PM by Kenny_Strawn (Kenny the one-teen comittee to stamp out Proprietary $uckware)

Here's a brilliant idea: What if one of us created a Linux distro with a GUI (and all its dependencies) packed into the initrd and hard-coded into the "init" shell script in its top level as such that it runs at the kernel level? There goes the argument by Windoze geeks that Linux is like DOS.

First, we would have to use a version of the command used to make the initrd that has hook support. That means we would need to base it off of Arch and then define a hook to pass to...

ATI vs NVIDIA proprietary drivers for Linux.

Posted 01-01-2011 at 01:45 AM by replica9000
