Hi,
Well here it is, my first attempt at a "getting started" guide. It's not ready for public consumption, but I would like to hear some feedback. The later sections are blank or contain notes in a not nice format. As time moves on and I learn more, I expect the guide to fill up. It's taking me a lot longer to get up to speed on Parrot due to the fact that I am documenting my learning process. I hope this effort helps others ramp up more rapidly. If you find any mistakes (boy, am I opening myself up with this one) or anything you would like to add to the first few sections, I'd like to hear them. I plan to have a lot more diagrams in the document. I am using 'dia' to create them. Is there a better tool for the job? I started writing the guide in a textbook format, but I was putting myself to sleep. So I am writing it in a more friendly style. I hope this doesn't bother anyone. If so, let's hear it. This version is in html. I almost have the pod version ready. I am on a windows machine. But I also have a linux box sitting right next to me. I used winzip to zip it up. Do you guys have a prefered compression format that I should use in the future? Here is my last question. Recently, when I try to login to cvs, I get this (see below). It worked in the past. Is it me, or did something else happen? set CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/public cvs login (Logging in to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) CVS password: ***I JUST HIT RETURN HERE*** cvs [login aborted]: could not open %USERPROFILE%/.cvspass: No such file or directory Thanks, Erik
