Wrote Links 0.97 tutorial.
|
| 05/24/2002 |
Corrected font and pre tag conflicts in tutorial pages. They caused formatting errors in Netscape. The lesson: don’t encapsulate pre tags inside of font tags! Installed svgalib.tgz in hopes to get seejpeg functioning, and it worked. Wrote seejpeg tutorial. Installed xpdf.tgz to view pdf files, but get “xpdf: can't load library 'libstdc++.so.2.8'” error. Figured out how to make mount points user accessible. Updated floppy and cdrom tutorials. Separated aliasing from floppy tutorial. Added a section on Monkey and Slackware in the history part of the description page. Compiled and installed Links version 0.97, a text-based web browser with table support. It’s very impressive.

Installed Minicom and dialed into my ISP. Could not establish a ppp connection, but did connect. ppp does not show up when I issue the ifconfig command. Tried to install groff versions 1.17.2, 1.16.1, and 1.10. Monkey’s GNU C++ compiler could not create it. Need groff for creating man pages for installed software. Validated pages at validator.w3.org. Formatted text version to conform to HTML 4.01 validation. Did not fully validate table version because of page layout issues...close enough.
