Welcome to Monkey help. This file is browsable by the command `help'.
MiniLinux (= MLinux = Monkey Linux) is small distribution of Linux.
There is still NO SECURITY.
You can move this help by using cursor keys, <SPACE>, <b>.
If you press </>, you can type word(s) to search, <n> for next.
Hints:
- Linux has got supprot for virtual terminals. You can access them by
the pressing ALT+Fx, where Fx is a function key from F1 to F7.
- To start X Window, type `startx'. X Window is on the 8th console
(ALT+F8). To leave X and enjoy with the virtual terminals, please,
press CTRL+ALT+Fx (from F1 to F6). Quick X-shutdown is possible by
CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. You can change resolution in X by the
CTRL+ALT+<GREY +> or <GREY ->. If you want, you may start X with
another color depth by typing `startx -- -bpp xxx', where xxx is one
of 8, 16, 32 (8 is default). Be sure, that /etc/XF86Config is correct.
You may generate a new XF86Config by using `xf86config' command.
`SuperProbe' may check type of your videocard. Command `xvidtune'
under X may help you with tunning your videocard.
- X Window requires at least 12MB RAM total memory (include swap).
Monkey uses M$ Windows swap-file or try make own /SWAP. If you do not
want to use M$ swap-file, simply create file /etc/nomsswap (by the
command `touch /etc/nomsswap').
- Many Unix commands are similar to their DOS equivalents:
cp = copy, rm = del, cat = type, more = more, mkdir = mkdir,
rmdir = rmdir, cd = cd, mv = move, ls = dir
BEWARE: in Unix the / is a / and not a \
- The equivalents of DOS' AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS are the file
/etc/inittab and files under directory /etc/rc.d
- If you dislike vi (...!!!), you can use joe (Wordstar compatibile
word processor).
- If you have got non-3c59x compatible Ethernet card, modify
/etc/modules.conf (line with eth0) to load the other module by
kerneld. Also the recompilation of kernel is possible (packages gccall
and kern2029). You must set the correct I/O for using ne module for
NE1000/2000 compatible cards.
- The directory / under Linux is \LINUX directory in your DOS.
The rest of your DOS drive you can find in the /DOS directory.
