December 29th, 2009How to Create Ubuntu Live USB

Create a Ubuntu 9.10 Live USB Flash Drive from the running Live CD

In the following tutorial, we explain how we installed Ubuntu 9.10 to a Flash Drive from the running Live CD.
This Ubuntu USB Flash Drive creation process is accomplished using the built in USB Disk Creator.

Hello Folks,

There are two ways to delete .svn file from repository one is to delete .svn directories that have been left by subversion.

find ./ -name “.svn” | xargs rm -Rf

(obviously you will want to keep the .svn folders if you are still using subversion)

Linux:

Cleaning a svn folder:
find . -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;

Windows:

Save the following to the folder to clean to a filename with a .cmd extension (cleansvn.cmd). After that issue the command, eg., C:\www>cleansvn

for /f “tokens=* delims=” %%i in (‘dir /s /b /a:d *svn’) do ( rd /s /q “%%i” )

Cheeersss.
