ABSTRACTS (translating old messages of mine, written in Italian)
- 1.7 Mb floppy: in my first message I tell anyone that
my Ignorance was Great and Deep upon formatting
diskettes. Now my ignorance is even deeper,
because I realized that the install.bat
would have solve anything for me: install.bat
does format (1.7 Mb) and fill a floppy (or two,
depending on if you want the X add-on)
- X11 : I've successfully installed muLinux (+ X11)
in my Pentium and it runs. X11 troubles
could be found, I believe, because when you
are running install.bat its request
"Insert X11 diskette and press ENTER"
could be found quite ambiguous: in actuality
it's only requiring a NEW floppy to format
and fill with X11. I have a 2.something version
of muLinux and probably Michele has solved
this problem in new releases.
- vi : I begged Michele to insert a true vi somewhere.
In order to make him bite at the hook, I promised
a vi micro-manual, intended for new users.
I do apologize: having begun to write this mu-manual
a few days before the Big Riot upon which language
should we use in this ML, the beta version of the
first 0.0 release will be in Italian (sorry).
Michele,
I think you will like the vi micro-manual in preparation.
I've done about 30% of the job (perhaps I will ask you something,
later: probably I've always used ex in a different way than you).
Mimmo,
would you like to be my beta-tester? I will give you an ASCII file
and you will learn vi (well, this is the goal).
Pre-requirements: you should NOT know ANYTHING about vi, but you
should have vi in your PC (for experimental purposes).
Ciao,
Max
P.S.: A tip for Michele: the following vi commands
are ALMOST the same thing (the 2nd will save if needed)
[ESC] :wq [ENTER]
[ESC] ZZ
