Joe's most used commands:
ctrl-c kill window without save......ctrl-e edit file in window......ctrl-a goto beginning of line......ctrl-k h enter and exit help
ctrl-k x save and kill window......ctrl-k d save window......ctrl-e goto end of line......esc-"." help next box
ctrl-k b begin text selection......ctrl-k o split window in two......ctrl-j cut to the end of line......esc-"," help previos box
ctrl-k k end text selection......ctrl-k n goto next window......ctrl-k u goto beginning of window......esc-s find forward
ctrl-k c copy selected text......ctrl-k p goto previos window......ctrl-k v goto end of window......esc-r find backward
ctrl-k m move selected text......ctrl-y delete line......ctrl-k f replace text (followed by operation: i=just find r=replace etc)
ctrl-k y delete selected text ......esc-y undelete line......ctrl-l repeat last find......ctrl-k "\" n repeat n times next command
ctrl-"_" or ctrl-shift-"_" undo......ctrl-"^" or ctrl-shift-"^" redo......ctrl-k z is "ctrl-z" stop to shell......ctrl-d delete
You may also want put - alias joe='joe -nobackups' - to your .profile if root .bashrc if user.
Need fast copying of some text in file1 to file2 and file3. Check this out: | Code: | | joe file1 file2 file3 |
Easy linux partition backup with initramfs:
| Code: | mkdir /from /to && mount /dev/partitiontobackup /from && mount /dev/partitionusb /to && cd /from && \
tar -cjpf /to/backup.tar.bz2 * && cd / && umount /from /to |
Restore:
| Code: | mkdir /from /to && mount /dev/partitionusb /from && mount /dev/partitiontorestore /to && rm -r /to/* && \
tar -xjpf /from/backup.tar.bz2 -C /to && umount /from /to |

I'm sorry, but what exactly does this script do? I followed it through. Why have you made it rewrite the whole make.conf? If any inexperienced user runs this script, it will screw up all the apps he/she installs as it rewrites the make.conf which is critical to a Gentoo System.

I think he's only copying over the make.conf into the initramfs, so it wouldn't affect what is on a users harddrive. I am a bit confused why there is a make.conf inside an initramfs though, as well as a make.profile. The initramfs only has the job of booting the system, which means stuff like that shouldn't be necessary.
BTW - Those who want to edit the initramfs that is generated though genkernel (or any other one for that matter) should take a look at a script called convinitrd on this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-452378.html
I've been using it for years to make small edits to the default initramfs. |

Initramfs is good for transferring binarys from fast to old pc and it also serves as a rescue
system. Embedded (aka empty) profile is perfect for building compact systems since it doesn't
pull in anything.  Suppose your CFLAGS on environment with toolchain(gcc): -march=k8.
With --config-root you tell to use new make.conf in work dir1 to build binarys for i486 not k8.
