this would be chown kelvyn /var/www/html which means "Make the username 'kelvyn' the owner of this directory. Probably not what you want in the long term, but good enough to play. Only "root" or the directory owner can give new permissions on the directory, which brings us to: > Bring up a console, log in as "root" , "chmod a+w /var/www/html". Try ctrl-alt-F1 and you'll probably get a login prompt (text mode only). Login with the username "root" and the root password and you can type commands in with The Power of Root. Which means you can do anything to anything, including destroying everything, so be careful! Oh, alt-F7 or alt-F5 will get you back to glorious technicolor GUI-o-vision. > I'm very sorry, but I think your answer took it for granted I knew > something, I claim to know nothing so I need exact instructions from > beginning to end.
