How do I make my own math homepage?
First create a directory named public_html in your home directory. You can do this by running the command:
$ mkdir public_html
after that create a file named index.html in your public_html
directory, you can do this by running he following command:
$ pico ~/public_html/index.html
in that file put HTML code, something like:
<HTML>
<BODY>
Hi this is my homepage.
This is <B>bold</B>.
</BODY>
</HTML>
Is a good start.
After you save the file you have now completed making
your webpage.
The only other thing you might have to do is to set
permissions so that others can see your web page. The
following commands would do that:
$ chmod go+x ~
$ chmod -R go+rx ~/public_html
Once you are done with your website you can get it
listed on the ucdavis math website in the directory
and personal home pages by sending help@math
a mail requesting that your page be listed.

Williams which can be found at http://galois.math.ucdavis.edu/UsefulGradInfo/GettingStarted/WebpageTutorial.

When I start Firefox, it complains that my profile 'username' is already in use. How do I fix it?
Exit Firefox. Then, from your home directory, run the command:
find .mozilla | grep lock
Then use rm to delete the resulting file(s).
