I was doing a drive upgrade and copping files from one drive to another as per the wonderful Drive Upgrade Guide...all went well until I had to type in the commands to do the copy....nothing happened!!!

Rebuilt the drive again...entered the commands for the copy...nothing happened!!!

then..i realized that there are spaces in the command!!!

i remember from my old programming days (circa 1975) that when a space or blank is to be used the letter 'b' was used with a slash through it!!

perhaps a symbol could be used to signify when a space/blank is intended?

just a suggestion..

btw..the copy is currently underway and all seems to be working fine...when all is done will have 50GB up from original 10GB of 3 years ago!

Also...installed Clarion Pro Audio w. SIRIUS radio in the car and ran the RIO into its AUX input...so far the gremlins of noise are still sleeping and do not have any whine that is notable...will give it my customary 2-week trial period, after which hopefully all will be fine!

Anyways...maybe the FAQ master can figure a way to work in my suggestion...

Thanks and happy cruising...!

fully electronic cut-and-paste works wonders with stuff like this..

If I did that, then people wouldn't be able to use a copy/paste to execute the commands.

You could make the space a different color, conceivably. I don't know that it's worth it, though.

I havn't looked at it recently, but do you use a font that has standard letter "widths"? I forget the technical term for this..

In reply to:

Monospaced (or character-cell) fonts

(Actually, character-cell fonts have stricter requirements, but they are monospaced, and I want to keep this simple!)
