F96-CE Extended Help Files

These supplemental help files are more detailed and cover a broader range of topics than those included in the distribution ISO. They will be of particular use to casual users or those new to Puppy Linux.

Download the Help_F96.pet file from the link below, then click to install. You'll find the files in Menu>Setup>Help_F96.

@wizard , what a fantastic idea:

@rockedge , my vote to include them at the next F96 version (@nilsonmorales I think we should include them too, do you agree?)

Puppy linux... What one knows... We all knows / What one learns... We all learns.

Very, very good info to be providing!!

Thanks for all the work to produce this.

Something to point out and consider.

In trying to help people with commands that may have to be edited into any boot config file.
You have to be very clear what the code has to be and provide only the specific command as it needs to look.

Example:

If the sdb2 partition is mounted as /mnt/sdb2 and the Puppy files are in /mnt/sdb2/tahr64, then "psubdir=tahr64" or "psubdir=/tahr64" must be specified.

People will see this command as being

Code: Select all

"psubdir=tahr64"

instead of what it actually needs to be

Code: Select all

psubdir=tahr64

We both know what using " " is about, but more people than you would think, are going to think it is part of the needed command.

@bigpup , I think it's a great idea to help people understand Linux commands.

Linux can seem overwhelming to beginners, especially if they have no prior experience with the command line interface.

However, once people start to understand the basic commands and how they work, they can become more comfortable and confident using Linux.

And of course, we should never forget the basic principles of linux users... SHARING, SHARING, SHARING.
