Refresh default settings on reboot

[Scott Ledyard]

Hi Simón et al,
I set this as a new thread. I enjoyed reading your article "Refresh default
settings on reboot." I'm a student of the command line, so I have a
question.

In it you use the command:
 find /home/student -maxdepth 1 -iname '.?*' -exec rm -rf '{}' \;
I'm okay with the first part out to '.?*' , but how does this differ from
'.*" ?
After that, I'm lost! Don't you pipe something here?

Scott

BTW, I also read your BLOG posting about SystemImager and hope my posted
comment about http://svn.sisuite.org/  might help.

the student preferences are removed and a fresh copy is put in place.

how to do this? I'm setting up a small lab in my classroom this week using
LTSP 6.10 (I'm installing the server today) and that would be beneficial I
think.
