Hi,
I have a directory with 18GB worth of files and I would like to tar span and burn it into a few DVDs after that. How can I do this in command line?
Thanks

Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that someone who is only identified as "CentOS List" and who clearly is not is asking a question like this of the (actual) CentOS List?
Or is there another way to read this?

People are so afraid that someone will be able to identify them through newsgroup postings or harvest their address for spam.
So what if someone googles my name and finds out I help people on a few lists! Makes me look real bad, doesn't it?

I'm just hoping the foot-in-mouth postings I've made here aren't as google-able as some of the more intelligent stuff that comes up under my name.
I'm already infamous, and not just on this list. Do I care? Why? Will it put me on a no-fly list (probably too late... ;^)?

There is no connection between an email address and a name. And you may want to use a decent email client.

Outlook can be forced into sorting based on header. Open the email then click on View > Options. Pick out the List-ID header and create a rule based on it.
Most of the lists I'm on will only make humor out of a posting by someone with an email address that coinsides with the list name.

Indeed - especially when the CentOS project decides to change it's name to SplungeOS. How silly would it be for somebody then to post as CentOS List? ;)

There are much easier ways of managing mailing list postings than using separate email addresses. Especially with Gmail - you can use filters and labels for that very purpose. You wouldn't walk into a shop covered head to toe in black with a mask, do your transaction, walk out, put another mask on, and then go into another shop.
But it's your choice of course..

Labelling in gmail doesn't help if you are forwarding to an Outlook account, though.

It seems that after all those years of Outlook problems, some are just into "extreme sports" and up to the challenge of keeping their machine stable with this <emphasis> CRAP </emphasis> !!!
Not to mention that crapware coming from Redmond breaks standards and gives headaches to many support people like me... But hey, we're (support people) supposed to get profit from that, that's Redmond's business model... It's just that i fell bad when i abuse people, Redmond has no problem with that whatsoever !
Anyway, NOMB but i'm shocked too!
I wish great luck to your wife, she's very courageous ! Living in those "both worlds" is just to dangerous for me!

actually, Outlook Express, and its follow-on Windows Mail, have been FAR more standards compliant than Outlook itself ever was or will be. Outlook Express was originally MS Internet Mail and News, aka MSIMN, which in fact was still the name of the executable last I looked.
I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird this past couple years, and I've got a few complaints about it, too (mainly, switching from plaintext to html formatted or visa versa is an ugly process and doesn't handle the conversion at all well at edit time)

You have all my admiration to be "extreme enough" to deal with M$ stuff! I lost patience with them long time ago and i **HATE** the way they are always play dirty with standards.
The current Outlook Express could be the best in the world, i wouldn't use it! I know, i shouldn't say that... It's just that i can't stand M$ way of doing things and i don't see them change in the next century!
Well, sorry John for my rant, it came deep from my heart!
And yes, Thunderbird is not perfect as 100% of the software on the planet!

I use IMAP for Gmail, as Google recommends, with the Evolution MUA. The "filters" and "labels" that Gmail uses are not working as I would like them to. Possibly with time, I will improve on those settings. After I download my email into Evolution, I manually move all the CentOS mail into the CentOS "label". After that, things are organized. :-) IMAP is much better than POP3, for a number of reasons, as Google says.

If you have a suitable server where you can park your IMAP folders you can get the best of everything by using fetchmail to grab mail via POP from gmail and deliver to your local IMAP folders. This gives you a chance to filter with procmail on the way in and your email client(s) can manipulate the folders quickly. If you configure gmail to 'archive' a copy as you download with POP, you can delete your local copy after reading it but still go back with gmail's web interface and find it with their excellent search facility later.

'Proprietary' isn't quite the right word as it is all open source. 'Highly customized' is a better description. A few key components are different and most of the config files are rewritten automatically by a combination of templates, a database maintained by web form entries, and perl scripts. If you want exactly what it does, it is extremely well thought out and easy to use. If you want to do additional customization it is harder. Sometimes you can just install missing centos rpms, but if you want integration with the web management you have to not only understand the configuration but also the template and database mechanism. There is a large collection of contributed add-in modules where someone has already done this work, though.

Well, no, of course not, but if you're going to forward from a great email facility (like google/gmail) to anything else, you're kind of stuck with the recipient product's limitations. (Snub to Outlook, not you, Anne.... :-)
Still, there are filters in Outlook if you like automatic sorting (I don't, but I don't like Outlook, either...).
Also, it would be nice if all lists used good subject labeling the way the CentOS and yum lists do (and not, e.g., the rpmforge list, which uses "users" exactly the same way that OOo does, making them impossible to distinguish from the subject alone, or the gnome list which has no tags at all).
Okay, I'm just rambling here. I don't sort my email until I pop it down from gmail into evolution, and then I sort it all by hand. It's a minor pain, but I only download what I've already read in gmail, so I already know that I want to save it and where by the time I see it in evolution.
Yes, I'm weird. You didn't know that?

What will that look like after someone uses it replies a few times on the same thread?

Good point. I guess other subscribers don't do it that way, else I'd have noticed it.
Maybe sed -re 's/^Subject: (^[MailScanner])/Subject: [MailScanner]/'
The ^ and the ( may need to be reversed... I'm not sure. |

So what if someone googles my name and finds out I help people on a few lists! Makes me look real bad, doesn't it?
No. I am on a few lists and each list with a different email address so that I can sort them out correctly. If you people don’t wish to help out, its fine, just ignore my mails. It will be nice to stop making fun of me.
Thanks
Much easier to use one box and sort message by their source. Or read them through gmane with a newsreader.

And one more thing to think about... Saying "stop picking on me" usually gets the opposite effect. ;-P

Yeah. After all, do you really want to pick on CetOS List? (All shades of meaning intended.)
Pick on Bill for a change - when was the last time we did that? ;^)

I have a directory with 18GB worth of files and I would like to tar span and burn it into a few DVDs after that. How can I do this in command line?
For what it's worth, I usually use rar for this task, because I can figure out the command line in about 10 seconds by running 'rar' with no arguments and check the help output, and they confuse my Windows-y friends less if I need to pass them around. Install rar from rpmforge.
To split a directory of files into roughly 700Mb bits:
rar a -v700000k rarname_to_create.rar dir_of_files
I recently wanted to split a large .iso of already highly compressed data into chunks that would fit on a FAT32 filesystem, so this is with no compression:
rar a -v700000k -m0 rarname_to_create.rar dir_of_files
I just noticed that Fajar beat me to quoting google hits relating to 'tar | split' so I'll hold off doing the same :)

I admit RAR is a file archiver that archives with very high compression ratios and is very popular in windows world.
But is proprietary software (not Open Source).
I recommend you using 7zip[0] currently leader in high compression on unix-like systems.
To split a directory of files into roughly 700Mb bits:
rar a -v700000k rarname_to_create.rar dir_of_files
7za a -v700m rarname_to_create.rar dir_of_files
Pre-packaged RPM is available at RPMforge[1]

You just can't beat one thing about tar and gzip on unix like systems -- they all come with it "from the factory".
