For example, /etc/init.d/rc - I can roughly understand what is happening (the comments often indicate the way), but the finer points are obscure. I've found a tutorial written in 2000 and a number of other things which appear to relate to bash scripting, but none show many of the words used in /etc/init.d/rc. Does each Distro create it's own words? I realise I shall not become expert, but that's no reason not to try to reach a certain level. Can someone indicate the way to a 'beginners guide/tutorial'? A direct reply would be appreciated - I've been subscribed to the list for ten years, but have recently been forced to unsubscribe (over 100 OT posts per day has become too much for me to deal with on dial-up). John.By coincidence that has been discussed today. Just do an. apt-get install abs-guideTo use it, and I was clueless, just type a / into the webbrowser, and work your way down the tree to /usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index.htmlNigel.
Nigel,I cannot find a package 'abs-guide' for etch. I've tried several different permutations (-guide, guide[too much!], abs-), nothing is found.
Is there is typo here or is there some other repository to add to sources.list?
