[Grml] the linux cookbook

[Josh]

Hi,

wow I did not know I could read the linux cookbook online until I did a
google search for it and found it online. But here's a problem I need to
overcome, and if anyone has already overcome this being blind, can you share
how you did it? Ok, so for me to practically use this cookbook, I will need
to:
*be able to somehow read the book and then go to my computer and follow the
directions.
so I would need two computers? one to read the book on, and another to have
grml Linux on. or
*have a braille copy of the Linux cookbook so I therefore only need one
computer and can read the braille copy to refer back to.

Well Josh, I wondered why each time I am seeing duplicates of your messages,
now I understand, you are posting to 2 lists. Anyway in linux you can have
multiple consoles, also called tty, so you can toggle among them with alt+f1
through alt+f12 if you have more than 6 set up.
Actually I would even better suggest converting that cookbook to an mp3 and
following along on another console.
Good luck
Hart

Use virtual terminals in Linux. One for root, and then ctty 2 <cr> into a
second terminal and log in with a different account and bring the book up
in that second account. Read with lynx and hit the (!) command to get you
a secondary shell. Then type ctty 1 <cr> and youre back in your root
account ready to key in those instructions. Then ctty 2 <cr> and then
type exit <cr> and you're back in the book where you left off. A
suggestion in root is to log what instructions you followed along with
their results. If you're not sure of something you're about to do, type
script <cr> first and after you did it type exit. That'll get you a
transcript in a file called typescript you can review later. Especially
useful since if lots of output hits the screen real fast your typescript
file will save all of it for you. Those typescript files are properly
reviewed and used as inputs for your log entries and dates and times also
need to go in your root log as well so if a sequence of events needs to be
reconstructed later those times and dates will make that process possible
