Re: chmod + chown

["Casey Boone" <ophidian_snake@hotmail.com>]

actually i used straight win32 ports.  i think the url is 
unxutils.sourceforge.net, or maybe unixutls (its missing a letter).

cygwin is a bit much for my needs ;} (and i have a tendancy to want to 
install about 1-2 gigs when i install it ["oh i might want to use this 
obscure worthless tool someday"])

i have thought about the rootless x server though.  i want to install it, 
but i cannot for the life of me come up with an actual need for it (i try to 
conserve space on the laptop, i only allotted 15 gigs for windows).  i only 
have a single desktop machine that boots into xp, and that is only for the 
occasion i need to do some video capture (the gatos guys dont support my 
aiw9600pro yet, but i expect they will soon enough).  that machine doubles 
as my file server/linux workstation so it is rarely in xp.

that leaves the laptop.  40 gig drive, 15 of it for xp, 3 for a shared fat32 
partition, 1.??? gig swap, rest divided between a 10 gig for fedora core and 
a 7 or so gig for archlinux (which i think i will be getting rid of and 
installing gentoo as arch doesnt impress me as much as i was told it would.  
i personally think they should have used apt for package management instead 
of rolling their own "pacman" tool)
