User Feedback :: here come the using-it questions #1

I have installed Frugal on hda1, swap is hda2 and home is hda3

Since I have a cheatcode of home=hda3, do I remove from .filetool.lst the line:

home/dsl/

Afterall, why am I backing up what is on hda3 to a .gz file on hda3 (where I have set up the backup location)?

BTW, this is not covered in the wiki Persistent home directory topic.

Next quesiton:

Where do I learn about Busybox commands? I am use to Redhat/Centos.

I mean I type in: man wlan

and the terminal session hangs.

Let alone the equiv to 'locate' (I see that there is updatedb).

DSL has network man pages, and if you don't use a current one, the man page server recently went offline, so no wonder you can't see the manuals..

for busybox commands, "busybox" lists them, and "command --help" tells what it can do..
Locate isn't included, but I think it's in gnu-utils. Without it you can always do a (slow) recursive search, like the sloow windoze one..

find / -name "*my search*"

For that backup thingy I can't say anything. It does sound reasonable though not to back it up.,.

Kind of hard to do a network man pages when what you are trying to find out about is the network commands and config files.....

I SUPPOSE, I can put my ethernet card back in and use that to get to man pages.

I have the disk space. Is there a MyDSL app for help that I can download?

yes.. but it doesn't have all the man pages, or the right versions of all..
