how to cd to memory card
 
Hi guys, could anyone tell me how to cd to the memory card in x-terminal.

Also, how can I delete commands that I've used before in x-terminal.

Cheers.

cd /media/mmc1 (sd card)
cd /home/user/MyDocs (internal mem 32gb)

To clear bash history:

echo > ~/.ash_history

^not a typo BTW

Then close terminal.

It's interesting how this "32GByte myth" is kept alive.

Do a "df" in your XTerminal and you'll notice that the partition mounted under /home/user/MyDocs is around 28GByte in size. A 2GByte partition is mounted under /home/user and "the rest" is kind of available under / in the shape of 233MBytes.

weeeelll.. kind of..
actually the 32gig is split 3 ways:
  • /home (2gigs) for all you settings and installed applications (that have been optified)
  • 768Meg of swap memory space
  • the rest is MyDocs
the root (/) is actually a 256meg flash storage device.. completely different to the emmc..

Yeah you gotta remember that you're starting with 32GB in "drivemaker's gigabytes" :rolleyes: so it's really closer to 30 right off the bat.

guys, sorry to be a pain but could you tell me how to save different commands in x-terminal, so i don't have to type in the commands that i use all the time.
cheers.

it is a confusion between memory chip specs and partitioning...

You have to make a shellscript - this is just a plaintext file that you can execute like a .BAT file in Windows. For example this one will show you the reason for the last boot

Code:
#! /bin/sh
cat /proc/bootreason
You can handily run them from anywhere when you put them in /home/user/

Now you make it executable. Let's say you named the file bootreason. You enter:

chmod ug+x bootreason

Then you can handily run it from anywhere by simply entering

~/bootreason

You can do a lot more with shellscripts like accepting arguments, just do some searching.
