Commands to be typed into a console, prompt, or command line appear
bolded
in the text. Sometimes, directory listings and other console stuff will be
bolded.
Buttons or options to be clicked on with the mouse or typed on the keyboard are
underlined in the text.
In most cases, filenames will be
italicized. I may have not done this in a few tutorials.
I'll slowly get around to fixing those that aren't.
I assume that my readers are using KDE, and all tutorials will be written as if the reader
is somewhat familiar and comfortable with navigating the KDE desktop.
The terms console, command prompt, command line, and terminal are all pretty much interchangable
and mean almost any method of accessing the classic Linux/Unix prompt from within the X Window System.
Each tutorial will specify if X must not be running when executing a given command.
The words Linux, Mandrake, and MDK, are all interchangeable for most purposes, and all
represent the distribution of Linux available from
Mandrake.
