Hello Don,

I am building a console-only debian-based live/installed system, and I am
looking for any suggestions on packages for the following:

1.   Pdf to text/html conversion (found pdftohtml, but not pdftotext).
Install poppler-utils, then you will have pdftotext.

2.   Some kind of perhaps curses-based word processing program. Doesn't
have to be real fancy,
But need to be able to import resulting documents into office or openoffice.
There is none known to me. But Abiword can e. g. do the following:

abiword --to=rtf my_text_file
abiword --to=txt my.rtf

3.   Text-based network management tool.
On Debian that's the default networking system, with configuration files under
/etc/network/

For WLAN there is also wpa_cli or something similar, I don't remember the exact
name.

Best
Sebastian

 Hi all,
 
  
 
 I don't know where else to ask this question, so here it goes.

The package poppler-utils will provide pdftohtml and pdftotext alongside
some other useful pdf manipulation commands.

Any good text-editor (vim, emacs, even nano) should allow you to create
UTF8 encoded plaintext files which can be imported into any respectable
Office suite. If you want greater formatting, you could have a look at
LaTEX, which is a very powerful typesetting language allowing export to
PDF, RTF (latex2rtf), html (latex2html) and so forth. You could also
look at simplified solutions such as aft, which allow export of simple
formatting to a variety of file types, including RTF.

 
 3.   Text-based network management tool.
All the necessary tools should already be present. 

Cheers,
S.M.
