'Guest' - my root's .bash_history file

|72.74.109.xxx |2007-02-19 11:54:50

I like to save my root's .bash_history file because I run all these commands each time I install a
desktop by way of a clean netinstall installation. Each line of this file was a command that I ran. The
bolded entry is one command. It installs my desktop.

apt-get install linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7
linux-headers-2.6.18-3-k7
apt-get install zip unzip mozplugger mplayer gnome-core gdm libdvdcss2

dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets
EXPORT
qtdir=/usr/lib
mkdir /mnt/windows
mkdir /mnt/tunage
chmod -R o+r /mnt/windows

I save it to a
system-files backup directory in my /home/uname directory. Then, after the first reboot following the grub
install part of the Etch installation routine, I reboot, login as root and copy this file back over to the
/root home directory. Then all I have to do is up-arrow to config my setup.

I just wrote, the biggest thank you and your never ever going to see it because your anti-spam refused me and
when it returned all my typing was gone.

I don't know why they can't make the letter readable...

Anyway,
you have the best site ever!!!!!!

Actually, its the only one that I use besides,

'Guest' - How do I save a copy of my .bash_history

|74.110.185.xxx |2007-08-28 18:31:36

my root's .bash_history file
I like to save my root's .bash_history file because I run all these commands
each time I install a desktop by way of a clean netinstall installation. Each line of this file was a command
that I ran. The bolded entry is one command. It installs my desktop.

How do I save a copy of my
.bash_history file?
Then, what do I have to do to that file to run it as a script?

Many
thanks
