wmii wiki page

Inxsible · 2009-03-07 22:01:12

The wmii wiki page was a stub since a very long time and it didn't have much information apart from a how to on installation. I have added a few other things like the default keys and some very very basic usage to get newbies to wmii -- like myself - a starting point.

wmii users please have a look at it and edit it, if there are errors. I have tried not to make any, but like I said, I am new to wmii myself.

I added a bit more about tagging. Thanks for your work!

Added stuff about WMII's filesystem.
Is there anything more you think that should be added?

Great work guys.
One thing I never really understood is whether the 9p filesystem thing lives entirely in memory or not. Eg is it possible to physically write files to disk by changing things in the virtual filesystem? Is the 9p filesystem state persisted in some way? or are you supposed to bring it into the state you want with scripts (wmiirc and stuff)?

I added the answer to the wiki

This filesystem is not permanent and you have to set up everything again after reboot. To make your changes "permanent" simply write the right commands into your wmiirc.

So yes, the filesystem resides in memory.

I know this is a little late, but I will add, a neat and easy way to get basic battery information etc. on the status bar
