If you want to try an interesting experiment, use ls --help in a command line interface to list all the options you can use with the ls command, then try them on a directory with enough entries in it and see the results. Quite interesting. Jisao -- -- QnA mailing list - To post: QnA@... Site: http://LinuxBasics.org List-options: http://LinuxBasics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qna

If I unplug the PCM card, and then reinsert it, the power light comes back on (socket is energized).

Hello everyone, I have been struggling with trying to get my wireless to work on Linux (it has been some process so far...) In the meanwhile before I finish setting it up does anyone know if it is possible to download the linux basics website so that I can browse through it while in Linux (I only have internet access through windows)?

Hello all, Well this has been a learning experience. I've finally got my linux system up and running. (Kubuntu 6.10, now as well as an ugly hardware hack to get the charging system working.) This email is being sent from Kmail, instead of Outlook Express so I guess it's kind of a test email too. Thanks to all who helped me with my wireless network card. Many of your suggestions didn't work properly with KDE and/or Kubuntu, but you pointed me in the right direction and I found a good write up in the Kubuntu forums. I would like to ask a little more about networking in Linux. at the moment, I can see available wireless networks with this system, but I can't connect, (WEP, or open, no difference) Any suggestions, or pointers? Also, If I don't have a network cable plugged in on power up, I can't connect by a hardwired connection. Is this a configuration issue, or a Linux issue? The next question I have is regarding the course. exercise section 2.5.4 refers to a file /etc/inittab which I can't seem to find. Is this a distribution specific name or location or am I blind?

This uses the +5V standby power, which is present whenever the power supply unit is plugged in, to allow the computer to be booted by a special LAN signal received by the card.(Continue reading)

I searched for it just like you, and it is not to be found in a Ubuntu-family distro. I asked AnitaL at the official chat last Sunday. We both did the search on our Ubuntu systems, and it is not there. Jisao -- -- QnA mailing list - To post: QnA@...

On linux, the following command does the trick: wget -pkmw 3 http://linuxbasics.org/start There are applications in windows that do the same thing, but I don't know their name, sorry.

If one has Cygwin tools installed, then it would be wget as well. After using the CLI for a while, and then going to a friends house, I really miss the Linux tools. They usually let me install Cygwin though. Otherwise, are they really my friends?-- Billy Pollifrone billy AT silverbaseball DOT com Registered Linux User #433318 (http://counter.li.org) -- -- QnA mailing list - To post: QnA@...
