10 Dale, from one old `f..t' to another.. here is a little tip I use
11 dozens of ways to aid my sorry failing memory.
12
13 In ~/.inputrc
14
15 Something like (verbatim):
16
17 "\M-f": "ls -l `find ./ -iname 'bzimage'`"
18
19 after saving ~/.inputrc, type C-x C-r to make readline re-read
20 it.
21
22 Then anytime you press Atl-f readline will put that command on the
23 cmdline for you.
24
25 So inside /usr/src/linux, Alt-f <enter> will dig up bzimage and show
26 any deceitful symlinks for what they are... hehe.
27
28 May not be that useful .. at least until someone sneaks in and moves
29 bzimage again, but I guess you can imagine the many ways putting
30 things in .inputrc will free you from remembering stuff.
