About scripts to capture screen content - I searched deja and I found that the most often recommended way to do it is to use XV. At http://www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book/ I download some pictures which were made in this way to compare their sizes with those of Doug. To use scripts one need to have X running, but then they are about 3-5 times smaller then those made with camera - probably might be useful for lite version, esp. when amount of pictures grows to several dozens ?

[...] Existing installation is required to use X-based XV . For "screen" utility I'm not sure - can't test it at the moment.

That is what I did when I wrote http://www.vmunix.com/fbsd-book/ which is a little stale. I won't have time to get to updating it till 1st quarter 2000, since I am involved with a real book contract." http://x62.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=544558149&CONTEXT=965287304.208404502&hitnum=81 "Also, if you run "screen" first, you can press CTRL-A, H (i believe, don't quote me). And it'll write a hard copy of the screen to a file. " To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
