VMware Images So Gut, Ja

February 24, 2008

This is wo to get ein couple gut text only Debian or Fedora images for freiheit VMWARE Player.

http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/#debian3.1

Deise are some with graphic desktop, but the minimal install ones are just weisse text on a schwarz screen. Ich recommend text allein because dinga like Gnome and KDE tend to lead one in the wrong direction and if something gets messed up, den its hard zu fix unless you know konsole kommands. The best thing is to get a text only Linux and learn to install a desktop like Blackbox or Fluxbox from scratch, which will then have xterminals for using console with ease. Verstehen?

If you are using Fedora Core, which Ich used to use, then die apt-get command ist probably non-existent und even if you install it, chances are it might not verk rechtig. The command in Fedora ist jest “yum”, like so:

yum install apt-get

“apt-get” tends to verk much besser und has besser respositories than yum, though jest for alte time’s sake, Ich installed yum auf Debian:

apt-get install yum

Fa dei is es Reich, di graft

Its very easy to install LYNX text only web browser:

apt-get install lynx

People vill sagt “MUDD” ist so gut text-based email environment. Actualle, the easiest one ist die Alpine. If du whilst to use gmail to collect und send messages, this is the den code, ja:

1. (Main> Setup> collectionLists> Add)

2. Enter du eindinga like the following aber replacing the information mit your gmail account id:

Nickname : Gmail
Server : imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=id@gmail.com
Path :
View :

Remember to helf der fadder in den felder after programming!

If du whilst zo installisch blackbox graphic desktop environment, und du wonder “why the “startx” command istn nicht werken?”, es ist because du dont have no X Windows installed. Command line:

apt-get install x-window-system

Und be home in time for dinner, Your mutter is machen den meatloaf.

File Directory Tree

February 24, 2008

Using ein Debian distro in VMWARE mit ohne any graphic desktop environment, Ich verstehen that the command to look through Fileisch Directories is “fd” plain and simple, no need for FDclone or anderin else. “FD” werken jest zehr gut. Aber, if you have no directory browzer, try these:

#apt-get install mc

#apt-get install fdclone
