Tue, 2005-07-19 08:58 — adminThis document describes how to install Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge) on an IBM Thinkpad T43p. Since I don't have time to write everything in one session, nor am I finished twiddling around with the setup of the notebook, this is work in progress.
Using the etch DVD as local Debian mirror
Fri, 2007-06-08 16:57 — adminWhen booting the Debian installer via PXE (see the relevant chapter in the Installation Guide for how to setup DHCP/TFTP and where to download the necessary files), the next logical step is to use a local Debian mirror in your network.
Comparing process environments
Fri, 2007-05-25 08:36 — adminUsing the entry in the proc-Filesystem of a running process, it's easy to get a sorted list of environment variables for a certain process ID (PID):
tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/<PID>/environ | sort
Since the lines in environ are null-terminated, putting proper newlines in the output with tr is necessary before sorting. (sort can only output lines terminated with \0 using the option -z, but not read them, besides: even -z doesn't quite work as expected in my case)
diff remote files interactively with vim and ssh
Thu, 2007-05-17 13:55 — adminOh, this comes in handy:
vimdiff /path/to/file scp://remotehost//path/to/file
Damn, how many features do I actually know of vim? (thanks, Mika for pointing this out, there's even a blog post about it)
