Anyways, someone else provided another link to another Linux... http://www.sidux.com/ Olaf Schmidt is a well-respected German fellow that participates in the VB6 newsgroups and he stated the following... <snip> "Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro, wich wraps some things in a way, that they don't work as in the "Original" (e.g. a "crippled" root-acount, or the not so original packetmanager) . "I can recommend using Sidux, wich is based on the top-actual debian-branch 'Sid' and comes with the (somewhat more Windows-like) Desktop-Manager KDE. www.sidux.com "The great thing about Sidux is, that it works as a Live-DC (you download an ISO-Image, wich you can bind directly as "CD-Rom-Drive" to a Virtual- Machine, but you can also burn the ISO-Image to a CD-R and boot a complete working Linux-OS (including Office and auto-detection of all Hardware) from your CD-Rom-Drive within ca. 2 minutes." </snip> http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_frm/thread/5f4ed93e8a6c1087/7f45dec5690ecda5#7f45dec5690ecda5 : It still exists in Linux, but most people use a more powerful version : named 'less'. In addition to the usual navigation keys, such as page up, : page down, home, end, and the cursor keys, one can search for a : text string, move forward of backward by a specific number of lines, : or move to a specific line number. The command 'man less' explains it : all. Incidentally, the 'man' command uses the same keys. Thanks. I found some information about stty and tset... # set the erase and kill characters # stty (BOURNE shell) $ stty erase \^H kill \^X # set the erase and kill characters on a Berkley system # tset (Berkley systems) % tset -e^H -k^X Erase is set to Ctrl-H Kill is set to Ctrl-X % The book also mentions that most "Unix" systems have "learn" command and they give an acronym to it (CAI). So time to play with those things. I think some folks here might find the sidux link above useful. I haven't downloaded that yet, but it sure sounds interesting. Give thanks to Olaf Schmidt for that. -- Jim Carlock North Carolina Swimming Pool Builders http://www.aquaticcreationsnc.com/

Also, a pocket command reference is priceless. > > Anyways, someone else provided another link to another Linux... > http://www.sidux.com/ Well, before you jump to another ship of the fleet, are you going to tell us if those external drives worked?

As of version 7, Fedora also has this capability. -- Chuck

The RadAsm Resources Editor and Sources Editors are in the very same DLL? :) What else did you wrote, minion? The Window with a Menu? Good. Mmmmm... no: Not _that_ good. :) But you were right with doing it, because Ketilo had no time to follow up with the HLA incompatible versions that are released every now and then. :) Betov. < http://rosasm.org > |
