Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.

Solution:

To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

• Example: https://gist.github.com/dragon788/7a7524ddc2946b2b5d114ce615465697/raw/
• Works even when you change the filename.

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]

This is how you make it work: 
- download and try run the driver package DELL_DW5800-LTE-4G-MOBILE-BR_A00_R303097.exe
- first it will extract, then the installer will run and give you a warning message that "This is not a Dell compatible system" or something similar 
- just before the warning message, you will see that the installer is extracting an .msi file called "Dell Wireless Mobile Broadband dw5800 4G Drivers.msi" (you can repeat the install until you get the right name of the .msi file) 
- without closing the"This is not a Dell compatible system" warning message, search for the .msi file and copy it to a different known location 
- you can now close the "This is not a Dell compatible system" warning window

# This works in Git Bash and Babun/Cygwin ZSH

Resize a Hard Disk for a Virtual Machine

Our Virtual Machines are provisioned using Vagrant from a Linux base box to run using VirutalBox. If the Hard Disk space runs out and you cannot remove files to free-up space, you can resize the Hard Disk using some VirtualBox and Linux commands.

Some assumptions

The following steps assume you've got a set-up like mine, where:

#!/bin/bash

# Create temp workign directory
mkdir -p /mnt/vmw-tools

# Mount VMware Tools ISO
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/vmw-tools

# Retrieve the VMware Tools package name from the directory
VMW_TOOLS=$(ls /mnt/vmw-tools/ | grep .gz)

# Make sure you'll have enough entropy for pacman-key later.
apt-get install haveged

# Install the arch bootstrap image in a tmpfs.
mount -t tmpfs none /mnt
cd /mnt
