Partitioning Trick Update

I added some information on some of the new stuff in the OpenBSD
disklabel(8) portion of the installation process on my page at:

Partitioning Trick

There’s a link there, too, to a good write-up on preserving your disk layout:

Preserving an existing OpenBSD partition layout during a re-install

Also picked up on a good way today to rename multiple files using perl:

ls -1 | perl -nle’$o=$_; s/OLDPATTERN/NEWPATTERN/; $n=$_; rename($o,$n)if!-e$n’

Pretty nifty. You can rename any part of the file names.

Cheers
