I have a suspicion that this is because 'man' actually does little more than executing this: groff -Tascii -man <command>.1 | less Nathan.

Okay. :-) I loaded XUBUNTU Gutsy (the latest version). I first attempted an earlier version but was having problems and thought I'd try the latest (I think it's alpha or beta). I ended up with the same problems. Either way, the external drives that hook up through the parallel port are NOT plug and play. For an operating system to know they exist, one of two things must happen. Either the OS must have the drivers built into it and send a set of commands to the parallel port (none of the Microsoft OS ever did this and ever recognized the drives), or the drivers must be installed so as to let the OS know. I don't think ANY OS exists with such drivers, but who knows? I keep looking in the \dev\ folder for the hard drive. I haven't learned how to switch to a different disk drive, yet. And I haven't found a GUI interface yet for this XUBUNTU. I keep doing the TAB TAB going through the list of commands that way. What a pain! I've currently rebooted the system and booted off the FEDORA 6 CDs. It's going through testing the CDs to make sure the CDs are safe to boot and install from. That's pretty nice. Yes, I'm getting ready to install the FEDORA 6. How do I switch to a different drive? I've seen some things like drva, drvc, drvd, drve but perhaps I'm not remembering the names correctly, as it was during the install that I noticed the names. I'm at a loss at this very moment because I'm testing the FEDORA CDs getting ready to let FEDORA 6 install. It looks like there's a GUI there, which I did not find yet for the XUBUNTU Gutsy OS.

Doing a "sudo xsane" is poof enough that our caddie brought along something from here: http://www.torque.net/parport/ Nathan.

Everything that is installed on the system is available through the directory structure. When a switch to a different physical drive is required, it is done automatically, as a result of the user entering a change directory (cd) command. -- Chuck |
