schauerlich, I am sorry, but your solution is way above me- I don't understand it at all so I was scared to try it.

As far as

Thanks again.
I tried this:

filename=$(cat /home/me/filenames)


while read filenames
do
cp /media/omega/"$filename" /media/"My Passport"/michael/
done < filenames

Thank you guys so much for all the responses. Since I need to read them from a list because I don't want to copy all of the files, I think what DaithiF suggested is the closest to what I need.
The...

I am talking about many files so I need to get the certain ones I need to copy from a list of file names and then pipe it to cp somehow.

First, let's keep the laughter to a minimum:P
I am not very good at Bash, but I am trying to figure out how to copy many files from one directory to another on an external hard drive.
I have dinked...

What about Meego? When it changes over is that going to affect the users who have the n900 before the change?

So, I guess what I am asking is, what can you do with root access?
Can you install whatever you want to on there like gimp or Open Office? Or is gaining root access more for like customizing how...

I am not sure what "root access" is exactly when it comes to a mobile phone. Also, what do you mean by "getting below the phone interface"?
Thanks for your in-depth reply.

Hey guys. I am in the market for a phone, and I have been out of the country for the past 11 years. I have no idea about which kind to get. I hear that some of the phones are "linux based". Does...

Thanks for your help.

From the grub boot menu, I hit 'e' to edit and I changed it to boot to 'sda1' and it booted up. Unfortunately, It didn't stick, the next time I booted the computer, same ol' same ol', it wouldn't...

Yes, I get to the grub menu, but after that it goes to busybox. I tried changing the boot order in the bios, and I also swapped the SATA positions on the motherboard. When I type "exit" at busybox...

Hey guys. I just bought a new Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA disk drive. I plugged it in and the system wont boot. I get the BusyBox and it says "gave up waiting for root device..."...

For those of you who can watch it, please give me your about:plugins output and let me know if you are 64 bit or not.
Thanks

Well, I was hoping it was not going to take as long as it did, but after working on it all week long, I finally found out the problem. It seems the tutorial I was following was incomplete in its...

Ok, I have dinked some more with it and have seem to make a little headway, but now am at another roadblock.
The Palimpsest Disk Utility shows both of my 500gig drives that I want to stripe. It...

I am using an Elitegroup P55H-A Motherboard. Is that fake RAID?
Which is faster?
Like I said, I know it is kind of a risky set-up if I were to loose a disk and all, but I plan to back up regularly...

Update:
I followed a tutorial in Ubuntu Help that said to use the alternate CD to set up the RAID drives and install. I just did the first part to partition the 2 RAID drives and then exited the...

Hello all! I just bought two 500gig hard disks to set up for RAID 0 for speedy read/write of data. I have read a lot of threads about putting Ubuntu on a RAID set, but I can't find anything about...

Thanks guys.

Maybe a different browser could be used. I have tried Firefox, Swiftfox, and Opera. And they all did not work.
Is it possible to install Explorer on Linux I wonder? I suppose not. I guess I can...

Do we know why it does not work? I think that is kind of a problem if many people can not see video on such a popular site.

Anybody else? Can you see the Seagal vids?
