Thanks to everyone for the replies regarding the use of spaces in the
Liux system. I really should have thought of the quotes. I use search
engines daily, so this shoulda come to mind.
Ok. I do have some questions that I am sure I have no clue how to
answer, I have tried for weeks.
One is the mget command when trying to dload from an ftp server. Is
there an alternative??? This command always ends in a "file not found"
error. I had to .tar something once and found that to be the only way to
get the file. But I don't have support for that on my machine as far as
I know. What commans do the Mac and Windows GUI clients use??
Second question. Is there a good place to find a command reference
manual for Linux on the net? I have found several books with chapters
that cover beginner commands. But I'm looking for something that will
shed new light on the options associated with commands and a way of
remembering which options do what? Is there a standard way that options
are invoked (-a always means "all", etc.)
Third question. Anyone know where I can find a reference on how to
install acrobat from CDROM??? I am trying to install StarOffice and
can't get into the READMEs that explain how to install. I went to
Adobe's page and can't even find anything pertaining to Linux.
TIA again,
John
