Notes for 9/19/2005
The 4-5 Section


  • 9/20/2005 5:03pm To do the assignment, you'll need to log into your ocf account that you got last week. For instructions on how to do that, see here. If you aren't familiar with the unix commands required to do the assignment, take a look at /bin using the ls command. Try the command "ls /bin | less". (since the /bin directory has so many files in it, using | less lets you scroll through it using the arrow keys. Press 'q' to quit.) Then, if you can't figure out what the command does, use the man command to see the manual for that command.
  • The .Xauthority trick should actually be .Xdefaults instead. Either that, or after you edit the file, you should run the command "xrdb -load .Xresources" (without the quotes). Thanks to Paul for pointing that out.
