First Steps with Skolelinux (Example)

4. Directories a.k.a. folders
- Most important differences to Windows:
- instead of an inverted slash ‘\’ (backslash) the normal slash ‘/’ is used.
- There are no drive letters; the CD-drive, for example, is located under /cdrom
- The quickest way to get into your personal account (for the teacher account /skole/tjener/home0/teacher) is to click on the house symbol in the taskbar. Only items which are saved in the subdirectory /priv, are hidden for others. File which are saved in the subdirectory /pub can also be read by others (pupils, for example).
5. Import and export of data
External files can be saved onto the network from the teacherclient:
- Insert medium (CD, floppy disc)
- Open medium (shortcut on the desktop)
- Locate and highlight the respective file (press Ctrl-key)
Click on copy in the menu edit (alternatively it is possible to press Ctrl+C or to move the files directly into the target directory)
- Click on the house symbol in konqueror and open the subfolder /pub (create a new subfolder if necessary)
Click on paste in the menu edit (or Ctrl+V). The files will now be copied.
The export of data occurs the other way round. Before the medium may be removed, it must be unmounted (right click on floppy- or CD–drive, unmount)!
6. Logout
The bottom entry in the K-menu is logout; the teacher client should be shut down completely.
7. Shut down
Everybody who has logged out switches off the monitor. The toggle switch on the Power strip should only be switched off as well, when all pupils are done with this! After shut down, the teacher’s client shows the message power down. The mains Switch (front side) has to be pressed for five seconds.
