how to extract iso files ?

Anyone who need to use the content of an .iso image file in ubuntu, without burning it to a cd can use the following command to create a virtual cd by mounting the .iso file.

$ sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso/file.iso /media/cdrom

After using the virtual CD you can simply unmount the virtual drive using the following command

$ sudo umount -f /media/cdrom0

Replace a String in Multiple Files in Linux Using Grep and Sed

Command grep -rl matchstring somedir/ | xargs sed -i 's/string1/string2/g' Note: The forward slash '/' delimiter in the sed argument could also be a different delimiter (such as the pipe '|' character). The pipe delimiter might be useful when searching through a lot of html files if you didn't want to escape the forward slash, for instance. matchstring is the string you want to match, e.g., "football" string1 would ideally be the same string as matchstring, as the matchstring in the grep command will pipe only files with matchstring in them to sed. string2 is the string that replace string1. Example grep -rl '5.00.00.40' ./ | xargs sed -i 's/5.00.00.40\/vc/5.79.17.43\/BB/g' Extracted from : http://vasir.net/blog/ubuntu/replace_string_in_multiple_files/

All you need to do is write the variables to the page, by editing your theme's page.tpl.php file. For each new region you've defined, include in page.tpl.php a print call. For the 'floater' region defined above, this would look like: . Of course, you'll probably want to use HTML, CSS, and possibly PHP (e.g., if tests) to get your new regions looking how you want them.
