3) I loaded Midnight Commander, and but the sda7 in the left panel, sdb7 in the right. I can see that what is iin each is exactly what should be there. I make the left panel (the source) ACTIVE.
Right here my memory betrays me. I remembered that pressing F5 would copy the left (active) panel to the right panel, but 'tain't so.
Yes, not quite. F5 copies what is highlighted or selected to the opposite panel.
What happened is that the copy took place to the /home directory of the the maintenance machine, that was supposed to be outside the game altogether. File managers of the commander type are, unfortunately, so ubiquitous that everyone is assumed to now instinctively how to use them, and developers do not trouble to write documentation for them. I do not find anything helpful through Google.
Please remind me how to perform the required copy from one panel to the other. I am embarrassed to have to ask this question.
Select/highlight the highest directory and F5 will copy that to the opposite panel or where you designate in the popup. btw, there is help in mc, normally assigned to F1. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
