My Notes

Back Ground

I am using Debian Linux in order to communicate with SDF. This is an excellent solution, however I have had some problems. What follows is an enumeration of those problems and what I have done to cope with them:

Back Space in Emacs
Added the following to the ~/.emacs file: (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 0)

Colors in Emacs
Not sure what I did to fix this. It was either adding "TERM=xterm-color" or the ~/.profile or upgrading to arp and using that server.

Setting Up a Web Page

OK, I do my usual thing and set up a web page locally and scp it to the server.

I usually have one problem. The permissions are not set. I tried setting the permissions from the CLI but did not have the permissions to do it. I then made an amazing discovery! You must run a script to set the correct permissions.

mkhomepg -p ; this will fix permissions

Now for the directory setup.

All of the development directories are under "code" in respective director.

The are the following is a list of the files:

-dox-dev -dox-history -dox-scripts

Setting the Backspace

From your shell, type 'bksp' and see if that fixes your backspace key.

From your shell, type 'echo $0' to see which shell you are currently using.

From your shell, 'cat /sys/etc/shells' to see which alternative shells are available.
