Learn about Linux software configuration

The software configuration of the Linux operating system is described here. the configuration object is not the kernel, but the software. The network configuration is basically completed in the installation system. you can also select liloconf from the menu on the GUI. Like WINDOWS, in LINUX, you can learn about the software configuration of the Linux operating system from the CD, software... here, the configuration object is not the kernel, but the software. The network configuration is basically completed in the installation system. you can also select liloconf from the menu on the GUI. Like WINDOWS, application software can be installed from a CD or floppy disk in LINUX. However, the difference is that it needs to use the command mount to log on to the optical drive or a soft Drive. In addition, most of the software is compressed, so you still need to know how to decompress it. Finally, it must be configured and compiled to run. The following is an introduction in four aspects: www.2cto.com I. mount the LINUX drive device with a special file/dev/fd0, and the file system is msdos. Therefore, use the following command to log on and read the content of the floppy disk: # mount-t msdos/dev/fd0/mnt/floppy # similarly to cd/mnt/floppy, type the following command to read the disc: www.2cto.com # mount-t iso9660/dev/hdb/mnt/cdrom # cd/mnt/cdrom and then run the cp command to copy the required software to the system. Exit the software drive and use the umount command for the optical drive. Note: you cannot use this command in its directory, but should first cd to another directory, and then use: umount/mnt/cdrom. 2. install the software for LINUX is generally used. Gz OR. Tar or. At the end of tar.gz. The former is compressed by gzip, and the latter is archived by tar and compressed by gzip. 1.. The end of gz is the compressed file. run the command gzip-d filename to decompress the file. the obtained file is in the current directory, but it is no longer available. Gz. www.2cto.com 2. The end of tar is an archive file. run the command tar-xvf filename to expand the file. the generated file is in the same directory as the source file, but is missing. Tar. 3. Files ending with tar.gz are the most common and can be directly installed using the command: gzip-cd filename | tar xfv. Generally, the first item of this type of files is a directory. Therefore, this directory will be created and all files will be stored under this directory when the preceding command is used. In special cases, run tar-tvf filename | more to view the first object. If it is not a directory, create a directory first, store the file under this directory, and run the command tar-xvf filename to install the file. After the preceding steps, files such as README and INSTALL are generated. Use vi to carefully read these files to create LINUX-related parts, more specifically for configuration. The general steps are as follows: (1 ). /Config, (2) make install, (3) make. the main change is in the first step. parameters are required later. you can see the following command to select :. /config -- help. 3. for example, I have configured apache (apache server) and php3 to download the apache.tar.gz?php3.tar.gz software for linuxfrom the Internet. 1xx is because apache.tar.gz is greater than 1.44 M. Therefore, I use the telnet command on MSDOS of center_5 to log on to LINUX and upload it through put. Www.2cto.com 2. the author puts the two software under the/usr/src directory and uses the command gzip-cd apache.tar.gz(php3.tar.gz) | tar xfv-for installation. This will see two directories: apache_1.3.6 and php-3.0.7. 3. under the first directory, you will see very important files: README, INSTALL. if it is in the GUI, you can open two xterms, one for careful reading, and the other for configuration according to the prompts of the file. 4. the file INSTALL, INSTALL. DSO, and README. QNX will be quickly found in the second Directory. steps are similar to 3. Because these two files are correlated, you must configure the former. 5. After configuration, enter/apache_1.3.6/conf/httpd. conf. in the file, understand its comments, delete or add "#" before some options. after saving the file, run the command/usr/src/apache_1.3.6/bin/apachectl start to open http and then browse the web page in Netscape Communication. 4. I have been learning for more than a month. I have been dealing with a brand new operating system, and most of the operations are implemented by typing the commands myself, in this way, you can gain a deep understanding of the operating system kernel. 1. understand some basic UNIX commands; www.2cto.com 2. familiar with vi text editing; 3. know how to compile and compile C, C ++, and JAVA programs on LINUX and UNIX; 4. I have learned more about the network principle, configured the network application software, and understood the general steps of software installation. 5. after all, there are few applications for LINUX today, and RedHat LINUX does not support Chinese characters, so it cannot be completely isolated from WINDOWS. therefore, the advantages of LINUX as a very good network server operating system should be used to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses. Because you do not have enough knowledge about the operating system, you cannot modify or develop the kernel on your own. Instead, you can stay on the basis of general understanding and basic operations. Because I learned LINUX to first understand UNIX on a PC, this is the main purpose. Of course, this period of learning is centered around this purpose.
