Is there a version of these adapted to OSSO XTERM?
Thanks

Is there a version of these adapted to OSSO XTERM?

I'm pretty green here - do you mean versions that read well while in xterm?

I'm guessing that post reflects confusion between the terminal and the shell...

The terminal is, practically, the equivalent of any other terminal; what's different on the tablets is largely the shell, and many system utilities, are replaced by busybox; the busybox replacements often have less functionality than the GNU versions, which are commonly assumed in documentation.
