PuppyLinux Reference Card

#1 Post by aragon »

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...
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

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: Select all

"\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.

OK aragon, it does work. What I copied must have had the keycodes wrong or something.

This doesn't work though:
set completion-ignore-case on

I converted the pdf to a 2 page document for OO .... it's so much easier to read now.
