If it is a single partition, loop-mounting it as Izkata already mentioned 
should suffice.

If it is a full disk, you'll need to mount the proper partition within 
the disk. There are various approaches possible, depending on your 
actual scenario. You could loop-mount with an offset, if you now 
your disk layout fairly well. Alternatively, use losetup to set up 
a loop device bound to the disk image. Then use kpartx to have the 
kernel read the partition table from this new device and map the 
partitions to their own devices. Finally mount the device corresponding 
to the partition you want to access.

Depends a bit on the details. Feel free to contact me privately.

It's just one partition. The problem is that I can't mount it, as 
the file-structure is damaged. I tried to extract meaningful file 
parts but no luck. I already spent to much time on it. We throw it 
away as we have the data locally and now need to find a way how to 
restore our AltMe content.

Just curious, what is the status of the rebol 3 vid for linux?  I 
would think the wiki would show the status, but I couldn't find it.

There is no "rebol 3 vid for linux", Rebol 3 VID is not OS-specific

Well, I more meant the gui system for linux is not implemented so 
you can't use vid yet.

I think he wants a publicly available Linux build of R3 with the 
GUI parts included :)

yeah  :).  I'm tired of testing things using wine and the windows 
build.

As far as I know, the "View" parts of the hostkit have not yet been 
ported to Linux.

(The R3 Host Kit, that is.)

IIRC there exists a command different from FIND that will print all 
absolut file locations for a given filename. Any idea?

readlink(1), maybe?

locate(1), maybe?

LOCATE was it... Thanks.

Just installed Zorin 4 (ubuntu based) and i'm having trouble getting 
R3 running. I assume I run it from the terminal  but I get "commnad 
not found" error. Anyone know what I'm not doing?

probabily you need to add ./ in front of the command name

thanks henrik!

Anyone using Dovecot IMAP mailserver here? I need to know if I can 
delete files on the filesystem from the mailbox dirs without bombing 
the mailserver. I have a couple of duplicate files I need to get 
rid of.

Ok, Thunderbird and a plug-in is your friend.

I've setup dovecot twice ... but am not using it now.

gcc 3.4 first appeared in debian sarge (debian 3.1), afaict. if he's 
using anything older (woody, potato), he'll be out of luck.

and if what he really needs is gcc 4.x, that first appeared in debian 
etch (debian 4.0).

for your convenience, here's an archive.debian.org apt sources line 
for etch:

(for carl's convenience, rather :)

Just redid my netbook with Ubuntu Netbook 10.10, and it works much 
better than in did with WinXP. Had to partition manually as the tweak 
to make the installer SSD friendly is still a proposal. R2 and R3 
work, though (as someone used to the Windows versions) I am having 
trouble with the console not opening a terminal when prompted to. 
I guess the button in the R2 View desktop doesn't work. Time to figure 
out the application shortcut creation method for this distro.

Yes, I'm aware of the irony that of all the things I could have trouble 
with, it would turn out to be the console that works better on Windows 
:(

Going to try AltME next. Are there any known problems with using 
the 1.2.21 Linux version? I seem to have no font problems in View...

1.2.25 works fine here.

Regarding the console, fire up REBOL directly from a terminal and 
you'll be fine.

The main problem is that the netbook versions of Linux are more GUI 
oriented, so the question is how to open REBOL by clicking on it.

Do we need to get debs in the multiverse repositories?

Creating a "Application in Terminal" type launcher should do the 
trick.

Ah, don't know how to do that yet :(

At least not in the netbook distro.

No experience with the netbook edition either, sorry.

If the Unity launcher (at least I think that's how the launchbar 
in the netbook thing is called) still uses .desktop files, it's probably 
only a matter of finding the associated .desktop file and modifying 
it to use Terminal=true

Or rather making associated desktop files. It turns out that the 
menu editor included is for the GNOME menu, not the Unity menu. There 
is no editor for the Unity menu. I'm going to try to figure out what 
needs to be done.

Did you try http://www.maxvessi.net/rebsite/Linux/??

Does anyone do anonymous pipes with REBOL? I've found that when doing 
an "insert system/ports/output my-data", that it won't actuallly 
send "my-data" until you halt or quit. Is there a way to force it 
to send so the script can continue to do other things and send more 
data later?

call
 function is not eough?
call "cp source.txt dest.txt"

Have you tried UPDATE? Not sure on anonymous pipes though.

Gregg, I tried that and it generates an error -- Cannot use updae 
on this type port

MaxV, It is possible to use call, but then the scripit would be executing 
like CGI. I wanted to pipe two REBOL scripts from the command line 
and have the first script periodically send data to the second. Of 
course I could use a socket, but that's a little more complex.

actually, using sockets is really simple.

I mean, its probably less hassle and you'd already have it working 
by now  ;-) 


I mean TCP server/clients can be as little as 5 lines each in rebol.

Maxim, you're absolutely right. I am just thinking in terms of being 
pipe friendly on the Linux command line.

You know, the Unix way of doing things.

did you try looking at the port states?
