First of all, a member of Lubuntu dev pointed out that the way I posted about those two commands may have been confusing ............ the "-" is not part of either command. So just to be clear:
cd Yep just those two letters, is used to change directories. ls Just lower case LS (I point that out because sometimes a lower case "L" is confused as upper case "i") is used to see what is in the current directory. Now, as far as naming any folder or directory that's simply a personal choice. But, just as an example, since I test both Ubuntu and Lubuntu images look at the names: lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Lubuntu lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ ls lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ cd lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Ubuntu lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Ubuntu$ ls precise-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso precise-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso quantal-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old ubuntu-gnome-12.10-desktop-i386.iso ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-i386.iso You'll see that I have a "raring-desktop-i386.iso" in both "Downloads/Lubuntu" and "Downloads/Ubuntu". That's why I have to keep totally different folders/directories for different flavors. Is that making any sense to you? I hope I'm not just creating confusion.

Zsync did put it in the /home , but it made it's own file. now I'm going to make a copy for testing. Q. should I erase the one on my /home/jose/iso, and replace it with this one?. Zsync must do something that will recognize it's own, and for some reason it did not recognized the one I had in their. Q do I need to put a "s" on that directory file name (Like) /home/jose/isos?

That daid, I had a daily in that file before I downloaded through terminal Zsync i thought it was going to replace the one in the Iso file. Am I wrong? I do have one in the download folder now. Is that the one from Zsync?. I'm sorry if I'm making it confusing.

Two very simple commands for working in the terminal are: ls (That is lower case LS) - lists the files and folders in that directory and: cd - changes the directory ################ As an example if I open my terminal and type ls I see: lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls Backups Documents examples.desktop Music Public Templates Desktop Downloads I'm_lost.png Pictures Reorganize_me Videos If I cd to Downloads and then type ls I see: lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads$ ls Debian LinuxMint Misc_debs Puppy gcalctool_5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb lost+found Misc_iso Ubuntu Kubuntu Lubuntu Peppermint Xubuntu That may seem confusing at first glance but I use and test other distros and *buntu flavors so I have to keep then separate ;^) So I then "cd" again to get back to Home, and then "cd Downloads/Lubuntu", and then ls shows me the contents of that folder: lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads$ cd lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Lubuntu lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ ls lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso You can see there a list of the contents of Downloads/Lubuntu on my box. #################################### Did that help or did I just cause confusion?
