I would truly love to see your "Command Line Tutorial" when you get it published. Start a sticky thread or something that we can all benefit from when we have time to study.

I was engaged as co-author for a book published in French, about a "Linux distribution easy to use". The book was published in January 2006. The writing had started late 2004, we have been 3 authors and I worked several hours daily during half a year on it. (And covered 3 versions of the distribution from 2004 to the end of 2005). It has been a hard and long work, which didn't even bring a decent salary... but I had the opportunity by this experience, to learn faster and more than I would have expected when I was just started.

With this souvenir in mind, and with all the projects I am working on now, I don't think I have an interest in writing a tutorial for command lines when so many good ones already exist on the web. I would rather suggest you open a sticky thread with the goal of having each one bring a link to his favorite tutorials.

NFS: I don't have the use for it. When I need to share folders I use either sshfs in console or gigolo as a gui. Or any of the available features in mc (very practical on remote sites, by the way).

I never struggle with fonts. I use Geany, Scite, and xfw. Why do you struggle with fonts exactly ?

melodie, You get +1 from me.

There are a consider selection of CLI tutorials on the net.
About the struggle with fonts?
That is a side effect which is part of MS Idiss.
With the years of early computers and MS DOS there is some correlation with Linux Command Line.

ie: cd / [CLI] and cd \ [MSD].

'Scuse me Guys... can I butt in here? Don't want to crash your general conversation about all things Linux, but I thought you might like to know MY PROBLEM IS SORTED

Melodie you are a star That was a very interesting link to Tuxfiles and together with your guidance, gave a very good explanation of the fstab file. I put 5 MS Windows partitions in there which are no relevance to Linux and hey presto, no automounting and consequent listing in the "Places" menu. This has tidied my Main Menu no end and completes my personal configuration!

Now the next job... make a back-up/remaster!!!

Thanks to all you Guys for your input and help and especially Mel ... at least I can jump on a Eurostar and give her a bunch of flowers

I'll let you continue with your conversation now and I'll marked the post as solved.

Cheers. Wharfhouse

Very good ! Now you know that any type of configuration can be done, provided you find a good way to do it.
