Hello all,
I am a newbie trying to get my hands dirty in Linux, thanx for the inspiration from someone in Uganda Martyrs University. However, there are some things that baffle me and he advised me to turn here whenever I need help, which will be quite often since 25/= per minute cannot allow me to surf the net for info as much as I would loved.
The first thing for today is the fact that I cannot capture the screen info the way other people do when they send outputs i.e. the screen on which I enter my commands is completely black yet there are some responses to my commands which I would like to capture and send over to people for interpretations. I simply cannot copy and paste them on a black screen!!! How do you people do it?
Secondly, when I started encountering Linux, the words "compiling the kernel" and "source code" have featured prominently in the literature.
However, ever since I managed to do my installation (SuSE Linux 7.2), I have looked for the source code of my distribution so that I could take a look and at least see how it looks like, but I have failed miserably. I can't see any source code!!! How do I see the source code of my distribution?
And finally, when, how and why should I compile a kernel?
Hoping to hear from you
Joseph
