Other Help Topics :: Starting with the basics

Hi DSL team,
I'm a newbie to Linux and having trouble starting with the basics.
I would like to know if you can copy information from the ATerminal to a text editor, if so how?
The reason for this is I am having trouble with mounting issues and would like to post my cfdisk output for somebody to check.

Thanking in advance all who help this newbie.

Highlight the text in the terminal window using your mouse and then paste into the text editor by clicking the middle mouse button.

If you do not have a middle mouse button, paste by clicking the left and right mouse buttons at the same time.

Hi Juanito,
That's what I thought.
I've got DSL installed on an old Compaq Armarda 1500c Laptop with mouse pad. This is what happens-
1.Highlight text in ATerminal
2.Place cursor in open beaver file
3.click both buttons and beaver context menu appears
4.click paste from the context menu and nothing happens?

Any ideas?

Maybe in xsetup.sh you have to select a 3-button mouse?

If your mouse isn't set up correctly, you can also try pressing shift+insert at the same time to 'paste'
