Errata for September 2002 Linux Magazine Column

• Page 44 (first page of the article): In the second paragraph, the first sentence ends "so much more that just locate files." Change "that" to "than".
• Page 45 (second page of the article): At the top of the right-hand column, the first bullet point (the second paragraph in the right-hand column) ends this way:

     The outer parentheses surround all expressions because the expressions are also joined with "or"s, any one can be true.

  That sentence needs a semicolon before the word "because". It should read:

     The outer parentheses surround all expressions; because the expressions are also joined with "or"s, any one can be true.

• Page 61 (third page of the article): In the sidebar "SPECIAL CHARACTERS: Shells vs. find", the third line of the example command looks like this:

      \( -exec gzip {} \; -o -exec bas
    

  It should be:

      \( -exec gzip {} \; -o -exec bash \; \)
    

• Page 61 (third page of the article), item 1 in the numbered liist: the first sentence begins:

     Find uncompressed files (whose name doesn't end with .gz or .bz2)

  It should read:

     Find uncompressed files (whose names don't end with .gz or .bz2)

• Page 61 (third page of the article): At the fourth line from the bottom of the left column, the command:

      mkdir /prj/daily/20020627/ adir)
    

  should be:

      mkdir /prj/daily/20020627/adir
