Bit torrent: I don't see why people are having problems with torrents, I got
the 4 discs in under 8 hrs (left it on overnight) and I've left it sharing
ever since (the second day after I saw the announcement for the 10)

ftpd: I did a fresh install on my laptop (I was checking out fedora core and
didn't like it) and I noticed that I can't ftp to my laptop. Does anybody
know why I would have this problem? (I can ssh to it fine and move stuff to
public_html at share it through apache fine, after editing the httpd.conf
file of course). I hardly ever move files back and forth between laptop and
desktop but I like to just ftp them because its pretty easy and fast. I'm
not sure I want to spend the time reading a howto for nfs (though I've done
it and its not that hard) I only connect to this laptop to network behind
firewalls and its not constantly on so I'm not too worried about security.
I suspect this is why the ftp server is not enabled(?).

dvd: What command was used to make the file list files on the discs? I've
tried variations of "ls -xxx" and can't get it exactly like what's on the
discs (I'm trying to make a file list file for a merged disk)

Probably for security, as you suggest. To enable FTP, edit /etc/inetd.conf,
and uncomment (remove the leading '#' from) the ftpd line. Then run
"/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart."

Happy file transfers,

I think the following will create a list like FILELIST.TXT:

$ unset LC_ALL # get a sorting order like FILELIST.TXT
$ cd /my/dvd/root/dir/
$ find | sort | xargs ls -ld > somefile.txt

I've no idea how Pat does it, however.

I did it the easy way. I downloaded the files and used a script I found
here. Message-ID: <YjHCc.109$oU6.53@newsfe3-gui>
Worked like a charm.
