Kylix - How to install on puppy and other delights

#1 Post by jank »

Hi, Folks:

I've recently downloaded a copy of PuppyLinux with the EMC2 CNC machine controller and am in the process of learning how to use both Linux and EMC.

Prior to my retirement, I've written a lot of control software using Borland's Delphi under Windows 9x. I'm interested in using Borland's Kylix with Puppy Linux. I've got a distribution CD of Kylix. How would I go about installing it on my Puppy Linux system?

Is there any way to set up a group of aliases for RXVT? Example - I'd like to set an alias of cd..="cd .." once and have it be active any time I start RXVT?

I'm sure that I'll continue to have questions as I continue forward. Thanks much for the help!

you can put aliases in /etc/profile.local ... create the file if it does not exist ... for example:

alias ..='cd ..'
alias h='history | grep $@'

or you can put aliases in /root/.bashrc, but it's probably better to put them in profile.local
