Hello all, I did a man apt-get and found that there was an option called apt-get upgrade, so I decided to try apt-get upgrade.
Since I did not know what would happen, I was afraid I might mess up my system, but I decided to try it any way. I found that I needed to run as root, so I su'd to root and ran apt-get upgrade, and to my surprise, it seemed to work. After running for a while ( I decided to leave the computer running on apt-get upgrade) there were some error messages, but nothing serious seemed to go wrong, so I decided to try out some things that might have worked better if something worked. I tried the command aspell -c agenda20060513 which I did with tab completion, until I got the full file name, and still got the same error message that there were no word lists for us . So apparently apt-get upgrade did not break my system nor did it seem to do anything positive for my system. I still want to get a binary stand alone program to spell check files created under the vim editor and would also like to configure the vim editor to keep the name of the file on the top of the screen when editing a file within the screen which I used to be able to do at one time. But now whenever I do a vi <filename> and then i for insert, the file name completely disappears. Do any of you have suggestions as to how to download and install aspell.bin and how to configure vim editor to keep the file name visible on part of the screen? I did manage to configure the vim editor to line wrap successfully. If I can do the other two items I would have the vim editor fully configured for my purposes. Even with the vim editor as it is now I can edit .c files and can check the c programs thus created and check their syntax and get simple c programs working. And the vim editor does this by color coding the characters on the screen in an intelligible way which gives me clues as to what to do to edit the programs to make them work. And I can use the first book on c programming that I got from my cousin to do the rest. regards, Michael Walters _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
