[plug] need a little help with our old friend Linux....

[Pavel Franger]

Dear whoever,

I'm a student and trying to battle the average problems which a normal 
users should be able to do with Linux.
If anyone can help me out it would be greatly thanked....

1.By using find,I want to write a script that copies all .c files that 
have not been changed for 3 days from my home account to a directory 
called oldprog in my home account.I want to use the -ok switch instead 
of the -exec switch so that the user is prompted before each file is 
copied.

2.By using find and/or cpio, i need to write a script that does a full 
backup of my home directory onto a floppy disk (/dev/fdO).I want to 
create a log of what files have been dumped on a file called backup.log 
in my $home.The log file is an Ascii text file.

3.I also want to use cpio to see a table of contents of the back up 
file.Delete then restore one of my files using cpio.

4.I want to set up a new directory called backups under my home 
directory. i want to use tar to create an archive file  in the backups 
directory of all files under my $home/bin directory.i want to also 
create both a compressed and an uncompressed archive file.i want to use 
tar to extract c programs (.c files) from the uncompressed archives.

5. i also want to use tar to restore all my files from the compressed 
archive in to a $home/copybin directory.

if anyone can help me with any of these...that would really be great.
