Another useful command is "mkdir -p" mkdir= Make directory -p = Make the parent file if it doesn't exist. So, i want to make a directory /mnt/sda1/lupu52/backup/2010 mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/lupu52/backup/2010 Instead of making a dir, enter it, make another dir, enter it. Also, if you keep making some ...

Added "how to make shutdown wait for tar/cp" in the second post.

I did something like this a while back. The howto is floating around here somewhere. That was when I had a big, valuable pupsave (full of emails and so forth).

I wonder what the sheeps are for... you could have gone closer and take a better picture of their house instead of zooming out and including some random sheeps in the photo. http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/822/sheepfg.jpg

Re: learn how to make GUI

The method I used to learn to make a GUI was to study the program mtpaintsnapshot.sh which is installed in most Puppies. I rewrote the program to localize it http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=496476#496476 You should take a look at my timer program http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy ...
