RECORDING WITH SCRIPT

At the times of doing some 
installation, it is often 
required to have the log of 
all the commands you gave 
and the output appeared on 
the screen.  If the software 
you are installing make the 
log it is OK otherwise you
loose all. The situation 
is worst when something 
doesn't work and you are not 
able to find out what went 
wrong at the time of 
installation. There is a good 
command which puts all the 
containts of a terminal 
window in a file.

% script
Script started, file is typescript

So this logs all the 
activities in the file 
typescript. Anytime you can 
press ctrl-d and the file 
will come to an end.
