<P>The file content lines should never begin with white space. You'll
|
|
have to remove them, if any. Sorry, I'm fed up with <CODE>C-a
|
|
M-AltGr-\</CODE> (remember, I'm a French azerty writer). Tab-emacs
|
|
reflex is untameable (coders who use Emacs always press the tabular
|
|
key like a twitch).
|
|
<P>Command input lines begin with a dollar <CODE>$</CODE> (the prompt), you
|
|
don't have to type the dollar, just type the rest of the line; other
|
|
lines are the command output, you don't have to type them either.
|
|
<P>Because all the configuration commands are important, you'll need
|
|
to use a system administrator shell, like root, on the
|
|
<B>source</B> and the <B>target</B> computers.

|
|
<P>The prompt will be shown as "<CODE>$</CODE>" in the remainder of this
|
|
documentation "<CODE>$</CODE>", even if it should be "<CODE>#</CODE>". This
|
|
is because "<CODE>#</CODE>" often means comment, so it is ambiguous. I
|
|
don't like ambiguity in computer science.
