Kubuntu 6.06 dapper: Where is the adept handbook?
Hi folks,
This weekend I installed Kubuntu 6.06. Looks nice but some apps don't work like they should. The packagemanager looks pretty complex to me, and there is no handbook available, the F1 help-function does not work. I have taken a look on Kubuntu.org: the Adept-handbook-link is dead. Who knows more about this or is there a better application to manage the packages? Sjonnie48 |
I installed kubuntu at the weekend too. It looks excellent.
I expect these links will help you, as I found them invaluable: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources http://www.krazypenguin.net/Ubuntu_D...ake_6.06_Guide http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ HTH |
Thanks a lot. Great links indeed.

Almost 2 years later, & the OQ is still valid: WTF is the handbook/manual for Adept?
I'd really like to know where to look to find the answer. I don't need links to alternate sources of info. -- I can use Adept as is, or other, earlier, properly documented tools. I want to know why the documentation for this application has gone unwritten for so long. I don't care how intuitive the coders think their interface is, I don't trust software written by folk who are too lazy, arrogant, or whatever to write the handbook. |

But I have never needed to look for it - adept (to my mind) is beautifully written, and completely intuitive to use. It also "works" in that it does what I expect it to do. Easily :) The first time I used it (some years ago now), I opened it, looked at it, thought "Oh! I like this", and just set about using it. If I was to email Peter Rockai, it'd be to say "Thanks for a great application", not "Where's the handbook?" If the lack of a handbook/manual really annoys you, maybe you should write it? (Ducks, ;) ) If there is something about adept you are having trouble understanding or using, you are welcome to post here, and I'll do my best to help you sort it out. |
