for loop

I often get confused with the for loop
its always the ` and not the ' . For eg
for i in `ls *.log.*`; do gzip $i; done

Kickstarts

I was doing a kickstart installation on one of my servers and it seemed to always get stuck at the first language prompt. Obviously that meant the ks.cfg was not accessible since thats the first entry in a kickstart file. so hunting down the reasons, I arrived at a DNS error , the hostname of the server was not properly added to the dns server. Once that was done , it was still not working.
Finally the nscd of the server where the requests for ks.cgi co was cleared of its hosts table and the kickstart finally got off to a nice start :)

Btw I cleared an RHCA paper for the RH401 exam . Now for the rest .........

NB: My earlier post about Rconnect wifi works with airtel too , just the difference that the no. to be dialled is *99#

Thats all for now!
