I think the CD3 doc set has a file of those, in BOTH cases. Is possible
to get an ls command to redir into a file, also, and recursively build a
tree with output inot a text file. With a fast box, 5-8 min of
processing time max to do this for all three CDs.
Lessee....
Login to a console, either SU or a user with rights to read from CD and
write to where you want your output.
If the CD-ROM automounts, simply CD mnt/CDROM (if it is named CDROM)
then:
ls -aR > /tmp/cd#dir.txt (where you will do this for each CD and
increment # by one each time with an integer) (R is recursive flag, a
gets you hiddens also)
When all CDS processed,
lp tmp/cd*dir.txt and dump to printer-- maybe 1500 lines for the sum
total, so you might want to preprocess in emacs and make it tighter output.
I did it this way so you have a list by CD#, and you can header the file
names as labels, or even dump the date as a header.
By the way, please do not redir info emacs to a text file, the known
output exceeds 500 pages with the dev options loaded for emacs....
