Linux cli noob needs help


E|W

Recommended Posts

To start the GUI:

 

startx

 

To scroll up the cli output results, you need to pipe the results through less

 

ls /etc | less

 

It will scroll one page at a time using the space bar, q exits when you get to the end.  Up and down arrows to go line-by-line.

 

To copy files, you need to see where the USB drive is mounted.  It could be in /media/sdb1.  I can't remember exactly where RH mount, pretty sure it's on /media.  Then just use cp to copy the files like any other copy.

Last time I checked (was like 6 years ago) RedHat had mc (Midinight Commander - basically a Norton Commander clone... just like Total Commander for Windows) installed by default. Just type mc into console and see if it runs.
