Once you have the list of commands, you can get different amounts of help (if written) by looking at: help commandname commandname -h man commandname info commandname
Thanks - something to add to The One Page Linux Manual...
useful when I actually install some packages. ATM I not only don't know what packages I have (apart from Mozilla).
On most debian systems, there are directories under /usr/share/doc containing manuals, README files and so on. That might be a good starting point.
Yes, I tried to open Wine last night and it wanted some file to get it started, and I don't know which CD it's on - must explore some more. List is probably on the Debian CD1? Mozilla works OK (AFAICT, but I can't test it on the Internet yet.) Many of the other applications in the lists are not installed, (word-processing apps for a start) and there are things which I should like to dump - all the games, for instance.
I'll get there, one day.
