I listed the:
Redhat Installation guide
Mandrake User guide and reference manual
Corel Linux os User Guide
Idiot's Guide to Linux
Linux for Dummies.
RTFM? only one of the above even had a listing for MC!
Corel, to it's credit, has ten pages on it, which while
certainly useful, did not mention the toggle feature of
the F keys. which I frankly like.
To tell me, or some other newbie where to log on is
useful, but it strikes me that mc is essential info
that should be there if I RTFM, and it is either lacking
or absent. I'm sure they will get it figured out, and
some distro will grab market share when newbies find out
which has the best fucking manual.
The convention in dos was, that when you had an app, in
this case a file manager, you could park it in a directory,
put that in the path, and be absolutely sure to find where
to RTFM. Is there some problem with this system? where is
MC located on the drive anyway? is there any useful manual
in the '.mc' directory? not in mine.
Dont get me wrong Steve, nix is a find operating system,
but the documentation....
