MichaelWestwind: initial thoughts

2009-10-23T20:48:11Z

initial thoughts

New page

2 hour class (simply not enough time otherwise)

topics covered (initial list taken from ticket 15108):
* top
* modprobe
* linux filesystem structure
* /proc
* grub
* grep
* basic piping and redirection ( |, > , >>, etc.)
* lspci
* ifconfig / iwconfig
* apt-get install
* bat_check and wc bat-time (part of the normal build/qc process)
* using gedit or nano or whatever text editor is necessary
* changing permissions
* groups

Please add to this list. I will also add or remove as seems appropriate after discussion with others.

A major question is how much to deal with the absolute beginner stuff.

		+	In order to cover the suggested topics, we really should have a system where we can run sudo. It would also be good to be able to mount a drive, or run a utility like "fsck". I suggest we fit the classroom terminals with small hard drives, then for the class, boot from a live cd and then be able to mount, format, fsck or whatever with the drives. The normal boot for the terminals would remain network and ltsp.
