Hi all folks,

Debian (testing/unstable)

I could not find the "append" command

# which append
# whereis append

had no printout

# ls /etc/bash | grep append
ls: /etc/bash: No such file or directory

Is there a command replacing 'append' in Debian?

Kindly advise.

TIA

B.R.

What are you trying to do? You can usually append things together using the cat command, like so:

cat file1 file2 file3 >combofile

or as a kernel option at boot time with LILO...

Hi all folks,

Previously I made a mistake taking 'append' as a commad

What I was prepared to do is to add a line

append="hdc=ide-scsi" to lilo.conf.

Now I fixed it.

Thanks

make sure you run lilo after editing lilo.conf
