PuppyLinux Reference Card Subject description: A short guide to common commands |
|
this is a one-sided reference-card to common cli/terminal-commands.
version: 0.01a
if you find errors/typos or think it needs a special command, please post.
special thanks go to Barry Kauler and Bruce B.
EDIT 110422: Tubeguy made a nice online-version: http://tubeguy.org/PLRC-0.01b.html
EDIT 100114: Upload of html-version.
EDIT 091001: Upload the sources. The zip contains the original Word-doc and a odt by tlchost (thanks thom). Abiword crashes constantly by trying to convert the doc, so i cancelled this plan.

That's a nice idea Aragon. I suspect it will expand to 2 sides before long!
The boot codes section looks a little short for example!

It is a super idea....and if it were two-sided, the font size might be increased to allow folks with senior eye sight to enjoy it.

Great idea, Aragon. If you composed it with a word processor program, perhaps you could post it in the native format of that program. That way people could change the font to whatever size they like.

thanks guys.
my goal is/was to have it just on one page. i do have some ref-cards and i'm using the one-sided more (only) ....
yes, boot-codes (as an example) are just a few, but the refcard is not meant as an alternative to a doku or something like that. it's just a personal selection.
but as posted, if you think that something is missing, please post.
thom, yes bad eyes are a problem, i know that from my birth on... but it's just a problem of getting much 'help' on one page.
but i will do 2 things:
1. try to optimize (maybe landscape would help)
2. post the base wp-file as flash suggested
AND NOW: PLEASE POST YOUR SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER BASIC COMMANDS!!!

Hey thanks, there's a couple of useful things in there that I didn't know about. Can anyone explain searching through the command history with Ctrl-R? I tried in in cygwin rxvt last night, and it seems you type in the first part of a command, press Ctrl-R, and then press space to search backwards through the history... but now that I try it in Puppy it only seems to find the most recent command, and won't search any further back...

am using it the other way round, first Ctrl+R then type part of the command. the limitation with the most recent command is here also.

The up arrow key goes back through the commands in rxvt or Xterm.
There`s no way to jump to a command that I know of...

sorry sunburnt,
i didn't understand your post.
yes you could use up/down to browse through the command-history. but if you use the shortcut Ctrl+R you could search in the history. tested in rxvt and mrxvt.
it's a feature of the readline-lib, the defaults could be set in /etc/inputrc (or ~/.inputrc). but i'm actually not able to understand the syntax to maybe 'get more out of it' or solve disciples problem.

Aha - it looks like the first comment here, or possibly a later one, might be the solution. Some other useful looking things in those comments too.

@disciple
i've not been able to solve the 'space' issue. it seems that it's a setting called magic-space, but i was not able to configure it sucessfully
but another one works. add
Code: | "\e[B": history-search-forward
"\e[A": history-search-backward |
to your inputrc. if you now type a part of a command, you could browse the history with up/down only for the history-subset that matches your part.
very nice one.
