Read man pages. The first UNIX like system I used was a VAX-VMS system. I would open the xman application, and just browse the commands. Also, if you see an instruction to use a command followed by some cryptic codes, look at the man page for that command a learn what the switches mean. If you are completely new to the terminal I guess the first few commands to learn are:- ls cd df du mv cp Once you can use them, you are well on the way to being able manage your files from the terminal. As I said before, if you don't recognise what those commands do, then type "man ls" at the command prompt to read the man page. -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
