Hints on doing your first lab report
Logon at UHUNIX, then: %telnet telnet: open (to): www.soc.hawaii.edu (this is the CSS Web server in Porteus) login: yourlastname password: yourlastname www: passwd (to pick your own password) old: yourlastname new: whateveryoulike www: (note: don't use Pine on this server. They don't want us to because of insufficient disk space. Go back to UNIX for that!) www: dir (always good to see your directory contents from time to time) www: emacs yourlastname.html (this will create your home page file) Please see instructions on how to view sample pages you can copy from. Type your report and save the file with Control-x then Control-c and answer y (yes for save). For more emacs instructions go here www: emacs labreport.html (this will create your lab report file. Do the same as the other file) www: lynx yourlastname.html (this will show you what it looks like in Lynx) Now you need to set your options in Lynx so you can edit your files with emacs without leaving Lynx. Very handy!! Once done, you don't need to this again for the rest of the semester. lynx screen: o (for options) dialog box: E (for editor) dialog box: emacs RETURN dialog box: shift-> (to save the setting) dialog box: r (for return to lynx) lynx screen: e (for editor) Now you're in your file and can edit it for errors, etc. To get back, type Control-x Control-c y (for yes save) -- as usual with emacs. Now you are back in Lynx to see your changes. This way you can go back and forth between the Lynx front screen and your html file in the back of it. Repeat with the other file. lynx screen: q (for quit) www: logout and you are back at the UHUNIX prompt where you can logout or go to Pine or do some Gopher navigation (just type gopher at the prompt).Hints on how to view sample lab reports
www: dir www: lynx ../../traffic/stlabreports.html (select student Bo Mar) (Now look at how the front page (what you see on the Lynx screen) looks like and note all the links. Try the links and come back with u) (Now let's look at the source page: this is the way Bo Mar had to type it in order to achieve the results you see on the screen in lynx. Type this:) www: = (the equal sign brings on the info page. Look at the name of the file and the name of the link. It's good practice to regularly look at the info page of links until you feel confident you can name the files and get there when you want to) www: = (this toggles, so it brings you back to the front view on the Lynx screen) www: \ (the back slash brings you the source file as it was typed by the person. Now study this and take notes. See how the person made href links and name links for anchors. Be sure that your report contains all these links:(1) to your home page
