Revision as of 17:00, 22 January 2010

2 hour class (simply not enough time otherwise)

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.

topics covered (initial list taken from ticket 15108):

  • top
  • modprobe
  • linux filesystem structure
  • /proc
  • grub & yaboot commands
  • grep
  • basic piping and redirection ( |, > , >>, etc.)
  • lspci
networks
  • ifconfig
  • iwconfig
  • dhclient
apt
  • 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

rmmod grub menu changes

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

  • mount, cfdisk, fsck

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.
