I read about the powered USB hubs but for a USB keydrive and mouse, I seem to be able to use the unpowered.For the benefit of those reading the forum here yes there are two types of USB hubs. The normal type is non powered, its just a USB splitter kind of thing that turns one usb port into 4 or however many.
I tried to apt-get some more programs
No Seamonkey, firefox or Opera - how do I get a listing of packages similar to what I am looking for or browsers?
I used something called aptitutde yesterday but I have no aptitude for it.
Inkscape seems the only program available but it took up too much space . . . que? I have a four gig SD card. Is the pi user space likely to be limited? Ah well, I purged and autocleaned barely knowing what I am up to but no luck.
I am off to find a simple bit of script to run from the command line.
I am using the command line more in the last couple of days than the previous year. If only I was more able.
I asked rpi to send Barry a Pi board - I hope they did. He is back tomorrow.
The Rpi is a fabulous pice of kit because of two expansion cables as well as pins to connect to stuff [stuff is a technical term]
Been sunny and rainy - sunny now - time to take the Raspberry Puppy board for a walk . . .
