Got it working! First post from inside Damn Small Linux! Need morehelp pls
OK, live and learn. Repost since my first post got lost when Firefox
unexpectedly disappeared from my Linux screen. But not blaming Linux (Damn Small Linux) since I have a Pentium II with 1 GB (!) hd and a few sticks of RAM. Can't expect much. Anyway, like I was saying I did get the Linux box connected to the internet, using the ethernet card, and both Windows and Linux boxes are working as I type this through the same ADSL modem. Nice. A loose cable was one problem, but the posters that predicted I would not need to install software drivers were correct. I need help though--just noticed something, why does Beever (text editor) do hard carrage return line breaks instead of wrapping? oh well-- on how to install new programs in Linux, in case I need to upgrade from the present Firefox 1.0.6. I need help on how to move files using the 'emelfm' file manager--or command prompts--from say the CD (which I mounted but I cannot see through the file manager--I thought the /cdrom directory was it but it's a hard drive directory) to the HD--and which folder would I unzip (.tar? ) and/or compile (how?) and/or place the binaries (hard return by Beaver 0.2.7 again! I wonder if this will look like kaka when I cut and paste it into Google Groups--we'll see) in which folder? Stuff like that. Any help or pointers appreciated. I figure if I study Linux a half hour a day, after 6 months I should be were I was in DOS about 20 years ago, but no matter, it's progress. BTW the user who will get this machine (or rather, one nearly like it) is only going to surf the net and do docs on the net (Google apps). Do I need faster hardware and/or a more newer version of Firefox to do Google apps? She types at most 1 page letters, so I say no. Already the disk thrashing is a bit noisy and slow on this machine, but actually I'm pleasantly surprised, kind of like the pleasant surprise (no spell check in beavor? Lol) you get from not getting food poisoning at a greasy spoon interstate cafe when on a road trip. Hard return again. My system info below--for you doubters. Hopefully no personal information there, but with Linux you never know when your security is/ will be compromised. And do I need a virus program and/or firewall now? I am surfing naked. This is OK in Linux land, right? Any advice sincerely appreciated. PS--how to check the hard drive for errors? What command? I notice in the report below a few bad sectors; probably they are oK physically but need to be rewritten. Also since I only have a 1 GB HD I don't want to load this machine with too much bloatware. Thanks again. PPs--hard returns did not show up in copy-and-paste, thankfully, and I notice, curiously, that Windows keyboard shortcuts like "Cntrl + home" to go to the top of a page work in Linux...interesting.

If you are opposed to crossposting, as am I, then you shouldn't crosspost at all yourself, including replies to crossposted messages. A trollishly crossposted message doesn't deserve to have its 'newsgroups' line content respected -- which is part of the reason that very very few messages should be crossposted in the first place and approximately zero replies to such messages should be so crossposted. -- Mike Easter posted to a.c.h.p-h only |

It would literally be my first Linux program I installed (other than what I did with RHAT over 10 years ago, which I don't remember). Would it, for example (I am using default directory names that came with installation for Damn Small Linux) go under "/sbin"? Do I log in under 'root' (http://www.linfo.org/root.html), then what, drag and drop (i.e., copy) the executable binary I download from abisource.com to what directory? Thanks in advance, RL |

Mike Easter If you are opposed to crossposting, as am I, then you shouldn't crosspost at all yourself, including replies to crossposted messages. Then are you opposed to SymLink (linking) files in Unix too? I am talking about (not) crossposting news messages. I am not interested in talking about SymLink. Or recipes and their cross-referencing. Do you have any intention whatsoever in determining the mobo and ram potential and what is and is not populating which available ram slots in this P54C comp3 DT desktop? -- Mike Easter |

Yes, I would like to try this program. Can you please tell me how to install it? Abiword is available as a myDSL extension, so you install it through the myDSL extensions framework. Full instructions for how to install software available in the myDSL extensions repository should be consulted at http://www.damnsmalllinux.ORG/wiki/index.php/Installing_MyDSL_Extensions A list of all the software available in the myDSL extensions repository is available at http://distro.ibiblio.ORG/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/ |

If you only need to prepare and read documents, have you considered abiword instead? Â* Â* Â* Â* http://www.abisource.COM/ Yes, I would like to try this program. Can you please tell me how to install it? It would literally be my first Linux program I installed (other than what I did with RHAT over 10 years ago, which I don't remember). Would it, for example (I am using default directory names that came with installation for Damn Small Linux) go under "/sbin"? Do I log in under 'root' (http://www.linfo.org/root.html), then what, drag and drop (i.e., copy) the executable binary I download from abisource.com to what directory? Thanks in advance, RL Hey NoBalls - there is a reason that Linux distributions have 'repositories' and 'package managers'. This ain't MS - it's easy. |
