7. Conventions

The file contents and line commands and install screen-shots are always in typewriter font, like this:

 #!/bin/bash
 #############################################
 #### This is the great file /bin/Windows ####
 #############################################
 
 while [ "1" ]; do
 echo "I do my best because I'm the best"
 echo "Very soon, next Y2Kill (the 01/01/0000)"
 echo "A new marvelous 64 bit release !"
 echo "Please wait a little more"
 sleep 18446744073709551615 # 2^64-1
 done
 

or this:

 $ killall Windows
 Terminated
 

The file content lines should never begin with white space. You'll have to remove them, if any. Sorry, I'm fed up with C-a M-AltGr-\ (remember, I'm a French azerty writer). Tab-emacs reflex is untameable (coders who use Emacs always press the tabular key like a twitch).

Command input lines begin with a dollar $ (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.

Because all the configuration commands are important, you'll need to use a system administrator shell, like root, on the source and the target computers.

 $ su
 Password: blabla
 # 
 

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