DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: man and/or  info



Hi,

Smee again.

Still for a rescue CD, it would be nice to have some online documentation.

'Cause when you're trying to restore a crashed system, you may not remember all the options of that particular command you wanna run, a you may not have another running machine handy to have a check.

Thanks.

Minimal documentation can usually be had by typing the command with
--help
as an option. For example:
find --help
ls --help
rm --help

At least it will usually display the valid options to help jog my memory.

Assuming that netorking is up and runnning, just add this page to your bookmarks:

http://man.linuxquestions.org/

or search Google for "online man pages"

The man pages are text so they appear fast even when on a dial-up connection.
