I am going to try and install minicom, at present I have it sitting in the share folder which both windows and Linux can use, but there are other programs in there too. I was thinking of creating a sub directory in there such as Temp and then putting the minicom file into it. What I need to know are the commands for creating another directory... I think it may be mkdir but not certain but I basically need the structure of the command so as to sure I tell the computer what it has to do. Also can you tell me the structure for the mv command to move the file into that directory. The other thought was that I am assuming I need to use the command dpkg -i* but was wondering if instead of shifting it would I use something like dpkg -i /exact file name for minicom and thereby select the file I wanted to work on??

These commands etc are possibly somewhere in the literature I have but as yet I havent stumbled upon it.

Sorry to have taken up so much of the Groups time and space with the Modem problem, I had hoped that it might have been able to be sorted out a lot easier......... I will definitely have an external hardware modem shortly, maybe this week The ps -A command threw up a whole list of processes running, but unfortunately at this time they mean very little to me.

Regards Alan
