This is great! I'm trying to learn to use the command line more, but so many of the things I find online or in books work in other distros, but not Puppy. If I see "Bad command or file name" one more time, I'll go postal, LOL!

Thank you for this--the HTML version is especially helpful, as it's the easiest to read, IMHO at least.

This is a fantastic idea, aragon. I just wanted to add my thanks.

Tip:
`which` only tells you about the copy of a program that will actually run if you call it by name (without the full path).
If you need to check whether you have multiple copies of a program in different paths (e.g. /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin), run this

I used the card (with some modifications) in my pet package
of Cooper's advanced Bash manual.

I've only looked at the HTML version:

Compact, useful - there were a couple of things in there that I'd forgotten; and easy to resize/reflow for those who need it.

You might want to check 'touch' btw.

It would be fairly east to semi-automate this with a db app so that appropriate versions could be created for different distro's.

I understand this is still a WIP but a few class declarations and stylesheets would greatly simplify the production of formatted-to-purpose variants.

Keep up the good work.

Cheerio,

un professeur ne pourrait-il pas nous faire une synthèse ?
Je suis en train de me faire mon manuel d'aide, aujourd'hui j'ai appris à targizer.
Les informations sont parfois disparates, noyées dans des jugements, en anglais, ou autre chose encore.
Les tutos de Toutou pourraient être amendés (?) des nouveautés ou découvertes.
Is there a teacher speaking french to do that ?

I have this file in my user book. very useful to remember syntax.
awful syntax. and furthermore english awful computing syntax !
Last user manual done was for puppy 4.3.1, wasn't it ? Things have changed a lot. Or better news things have appeared.
Could even somebody translate in Puppy user's manuals from other distros, with correct syntax, obviously ? Great Job !

I often use copy and paste with the terminal. I had to search to find out how it was done in Puppy... these commands worked from here: http://wikka.puppylinux.com/HowToCopyFromTerminal

COPY = Highlight the text in the terminal. Switch to destination app and press middle mouse button. The text should now be pasted into destination application.
Middle mouse button can be simulated by pressing both mouse keys simultaneously

PASTE = Highlight the text in the source app and optionally press 'ctrl'+ c. Switch to terminal and press 'shift'+'insert' or press middle mouse button.... or both mouse buttons simultaneously.
