He may be having trouble giving you log if he is trying from the rabbit. At least on my system the display of log from rabbit does little more than that. I've mentioned it several times, but either no one believe me or the problem remains uncomprehended or unimportant.
When I try to display log from Rabbit Menu I get display. Mark is possible, but only within the given page. One can move the segment and then mark in another section. A somewhat deceptive process if one need to pass along more than one page of the log. The Button at the bottom of the window that shows the log file (end of, if box checked) does nothing with the marked contents. One can use ctrl-c to copy, then open an editor to generate a file and then use ctrl-v to put the marked material into that file, or one can open a email window after using the mark and ctrl-c and put a segment into the mail message. This all seems very primitive, but either the Rabbit-display log works for everyone but me or fixing what looks like a useful method for selecting and forewarding log information is considered one of those user friendly functions that does help get freenet working. One can go to the directory when freenet is installed and open that file to copy some contents, or send freenet.log as an attachement, or perhaps zip that file and send the zip copy on. For novices, that may not be the easiest (search does not work on my 2K opsys unless I am Administrator, which might be a problem to others using 2K Win) if one does not know where freenet was installed. The system works pretty good for gurus, but not for many of the remainder. > [Original Message] > From: Dave Hooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Uncle Dave <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 11/5/2003 7:22:51 PM > Subject: Re: [freenet-support] help > > > I don't show any of those links on the web interface > > page.
