For those of us who had (still have) trouble remembering the somewhat terse nature of linux commands:-/ 'ls' -> The command. LiSt the contents of a directory. ' -' -> space dash -> get ready for some one letter modifiers. 'l' -> Long -> Shows you huge amounts of information (permissions, owners, size, and when last modified.) ' 'd' - >Directory -> If an argument is a directory it only lists its name not its contents. ' ~olpc/Activities/Scratch.activity' -> note the space -> The argument which tells the command which directory to look at. The tilde is a shortcut to point at you 'home' directory. check out http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_ls.htm for more information. david > (note the minus sign, and where the spaces are) > >> See my initial message at the bottom to see what the problem is >> saving a Scratch project on XOs running build 802. > > I think Bryan's answered your original question: one has to change the > folder in which one saves from the default that's offered. > >> I do notice that the code on the prompt varies with the machine: >> o...@xo-27-90-c8 ~]$ >> o...@xo-0d-5c-68 ~]$ >> o...@xo-27-8a-0f ~]$ >> I assume these are just individual codes for each machine. > > Your assumption is correct. > >> Have others experienced this problem saving in Scratch?
