█ COWSAY ▐▌
█ If you did an upgrade and after received the error when using the ▐▌
█ small.cow, or others: cowsay: Could not find small cowfile! ▐▌
█ This is because in cowsay version '3.03+dfsg1-2' it *removed 7 of the ▐▌
█ cowsay files above. It also **added 5 new ones (thank you!). As per the ▐▌
█ changelog for cowsay version 3.03+dfsg1-2: "Removed cows from unknown ▐▌
█ artists and added authors of contributed cow files..." ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ These are the cowsay file changes v3.03+dfsg1-2 did: ▐▌
█ * 7 REMOVED: ** 5 ADDED: ▐▌

█ ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Here is the list of the *55 different creature files to choose from: ▐▌
█ apt.cow **gnu.cow *small.cow ▐▌

█ To easily preview every creature on the list above click HERE. ▐▌
█ Or run this cmd to preview every creature you have installed: ▐▌
█ for cowsay in `ls -1 /usr/share/cowsay/cows | grep .cow | cut -d . -f 1`; \▐▌
█ do echo; cowsay -f $cowsay Me is "$cowsay"; done >> cowsay_creatures.txt ▐▌
█ Then view the file: ▐▌
█ less cowsay_creatures.txt ▐▌
█ Press your enter key or arrow keys to scroll. ▐▌
█ To quit less: q ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Wahhh! I use small.cow on my MOTD and I'm greedy and I want all of the ▐▌
█ creatures :D. To fix this error: "cowsay: Could not find small cowfile!" ▐▌
█ and others for example: ▐▌
█ cowsay -f sodomized hello? ▐▌
█ cowsay: Could not find sodomized cowfile! ▐▌
█ Do this: ▐▌
█ Check if you are missing any of the creature files that you want, Debian: ▐▌
█ ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ ▐▌
█ If so download this version of cowsay, extract, then copy over those ▐▌
█ missing to the cow's directory: ▐▌
█ wget "https://launchpad.net/debian/lenny/+source/cowsay/3.03-9.2/+files/cowsay_3.03.orig.tar.gz"
█ tar xvzf cowsay_3.03.orig.tar.gz ▐▌
█ cd ~/cowsay-3.03/cows ▐▌
█ su ▐▌
█ cp satanic.cow small.cow sodomized.cow supermilker.cow surgery.cow \ ▐▌
█ telebears.cow udder.cow /usr/share/cowsay/cows ▐▌
█ exit ▐▌
█ ls -l /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ ▐▌
█ Test it is working now: ▐▌
█ cowsay -f small me missed you! ▐▌

█ ||--|| * ▐▌
█ cd ~ ▐▌
█ Save the cows as next upgrade it might remove them again: ▐▌
█ mkdir cows_more ▐▌
█ cp satanic.cow small.cow sodomized.cow supermilker.cow surgery.cow \ ▐▌
█ telebears.cow udder.cow ~/cows_more ▐▌
█ Clean up: ▐▌
█ rm cowsay-3.03 -rf ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ FURTHERMORE: ▐▌
█ In the latest cowsay, (not stable cowsay_3.03+dfsg1-4.debian.tar.gz), ▐▌
█ you'll find in the works a few more creatures - pony; small and large, ▐▌
█ unipony (unicorn); small and large, and a snowman. (jfyi ponies transpired ▐▌
█ here.) ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ Click on each name for the ready code to copy/paste (snowman I altered the ▐▌
█ hat as it didn't look right), then save each file, copy to ▐▌
█ /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ and test. ▐▌
█ Or I zipped (zip cowsnew1 -9 *) up all five HERE to make it easier: ▐▌
█ mkdir cows_more && cd cows_more ▐▌
█ wget http://mewbies.com/geek_fun_files/cowsay/cows_more/cowsnew1.zip ▐▌
█ unzip cowsnew1.zip ▐▌
█ su ▐▌
█ cp pony.cow pony-smaller.cow snowman.cow unipony.cow ▐▌
█ unipony-smaller.cow /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ ▐▌
█ exit ▐▌
█ Test them: ▐▌
█ cowsay -f snowman hi && cowsay -f pony hi && cowsay -f pony-smaller hi && ▐▌
█ cowsay -f unipony hi && cowsay -f unipony-smaller hi ▐▌

█ Other Cowsay Creatures Never Included With Cowsay: ▐▌
█ You could create your own creatures, just have a look at the cow file's ▐▌
█ format and follow that. You could even copy paste in ASCII art, chris.com ▐▌
█ has a nice collection or jgs art and stop by textfiles.com. Or do a little ▐▌
█ google searching and you can find some cowsaycreatures others have ▐▌
█ created. One such that I like and found quite unusual is Oarfish by ▐▌
█ AlmightyDoerOfStuff HERE which is an ASCII art representation of THIS. ▐▌
█ ▐▌
█ To use it: ▐▌
█ pico oarfish.cow ▐▌
█ Copy/paste the code in from HERE (the code in the post is a bit off and ▐▌
█ will result in an EOF error). ▐▌
█ Save file then: ▐▌
█ su ▐▌
█ cp oarfish.cow /usr/share/cowsay/cows/ ▐▌
█ exit ▐▌
█ Test it: ▐▌
█ cowsay -f oarfish hi ▐▌
