J: John RD: Robert Denton RD> First I decided to ftp get the ks file from the windows ftp server and edit RD> it in vi and re-upload it. This did not work. J> The secret is to learn your linux tools. vim _can_ do it: "set J> fileformat unix" Yes -- in fact, Robert, your problem wss that vim is a little too smart in this particular case. If vim senses DOS EOL termintators, it will preserve them, and /bin/vi == vim on RedHat systems. You have to do what John says to get it to change. J> tr can do it well enough for most purposes: J> tr -d '\r' <badversion >goodversion J> ftp can do it: J> asc And dos2unix can do it, from the dos2unix package. -- cmalek@xxxxxxxxxxx Nosce Teipsum Office: (626) 395-2593 Fax: (626) 792-4257 Mail Stop: 014-81
