How can you use find to exclude more than one directory?
I have:
find /home/ac/ -path '/home/ac/.netscape' -prune -o -print
This excludes ~/.netscape but I can't add any more directories to this
list. Is it possible to do so?

I know this sounds strange, but I want to remove
Xfree. I have tried "apt-get remove" with every
combination of X11 and Xfree I could think of,
but to no avail. What is the exact name of the

2.2.17 in both cases (actually, there's a 2.2.18pre21 package optional,

Use a frontend like capt or aptitude, there's a whole bunch of packages to
uninstall. You could also use dselect :P if you're really a
masochist... BTW, you can get a list of packages presently installed on

Hey,
I had to open up the xmms properties, and then enable the CD plug-in. It

I had done that, but overlooked one small fact; I was in the cdrom group,
but not the disk group, to which /dev/hdc was pointed. I had no rights to
physically scan the CD for tracks!

I was just wondering if anyone has successfully compiled the Nvidia .95
drivers with the latest kernel. The reiserfs patches for it just came

I installed debian and used pppconfig to generate the chat
