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!

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. Smile

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...

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...

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 Sad

but another one works. add

When I tried that it didn't work... weird.

i retried it. puppy 4.21 with loaded devx. just opened /etc/inputrc dropped the 2 lines in, saved, test in terminal, works.

with which puppy are you trying?
