Exactly the same as would would at a C:\> prompt. Just like "C:\" shows which directory you are in when using DOS, "[EMAIL PROTECTED] kelvyn]$" shows yours location on a unix or linux system. The first part, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" shows that you are logged in as "kelvyn" on a machine called "localhost". It is no accident that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" looks like an email address. The familiar "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" format comes from the unix world. The second appearance of "kelvyn" tells you that you are in the directory /home/kelvyn. If you type "cd .." your prompt will change to "[EMAIL PROTECTED] home]$". > I really dont understand what it is trying to ask me. I hope you do now :-) > I'm getting closer each time. I really like your attitude, sir! I mean it. I've seen people try stuff and give up in a huff too often. It's refreshing to have a motivated newbie like you on this list.
