Seems to have to be a two stage process going from OTA mpg to mpg.

First cut the end using endpos
Then cut the start using ss

Clonezilla and related

Clonezilla worked ok to image linux ext4 and mac hfs+ partitions. However shrink first for going to smaller partitions. However, going to a larger ext4 partition worked, but df reported full.

So, thanks to the interweb,

e2fsck -f /dev/sda?
resize2fs -p /dev/sda?

Also watch boot options to kernel and fstab.

Oh and Clonezilla live worked. Clonezilla from parted magic did not.

change an exisiting boot cd and make another boot cd in osx

Wow, last post was Nov 1, 2010. Two days before Sam.

hdiutil makehybrid -o cd3.iso newiso3/ -iso -hfs -joliet -eltorito-boot newiso3/usr/standalone/i386/cdboot -no-emul-boot -hfs-volume-name "cd3" -joliet-volume-name "cd3"

Auto on off for OSX airport

This works well for me on a mac mini G4. Substitute 192 for whatever is valid for you. Play with the delays to see what works best.

Also restart your wireless router everyday :) I don't know why this helps.

#!/bin/csh

set n = 0

set t = 120

while ( `/Users/me/helperanet` != 192 )

echo $n

networksetup -setairportpower off

sleep 3

networksetup -setairportpower on

sleep 6

@ n = $n + 1

end

with helperanet being

#!/bin/csh

set stra =( `networksetup -getinfo airport | grep -i ip | grep -i 192 | awk 'BEGIN {RS="."} /192/ {print $3}'` )

echo $stra
