On the commandline you must type "ls -l" (without the quotes) to display the file list one per line. after that type alt-r to toggle review mode in yasr. After typing alt-r you can read the contens of the screen by moving with the arrow keys. The cursor will not move. To return in normal mode type alt-r again. > I have some experience with DOS and I understand I can get a DOS emulator by > doing the following: > apt-get install dosemu-freedos > apt-get install dosemu > Is there a way to download the emulator files ahead of time instead of > trying to get online with linux? > Where would I go to download them? > Since you run Oralux from a cd it will not be possible to install packages on your hard disk. > Thanks for your help. > hth and don't hesitate to ask more if something is not clear enough. > Lisa > > > _______________________________________________ > Oralux mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.freearchive.org/mailman/listinfo/oralux > > -- Nath _______________________________________________ Oralux mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freearchive.org/mailman/listinfo/oralux
