Hi lance, getting back to your response. I see that in your Download folder you have different folder that you keep your different flavors yes?. I have one folder in my /home called iso, and I keep all my isos in there. so my q. to you is, In terminal how do I call for the (ls) or the (cd) in my case. ~$ (cd home/iso) is that correct? and then ~/ (home/lubuntu$ ls). I think I have tried that and it does not work. I'm pretty fresh to terminal commands. but I really want to know how to use and get the list like you did here. thanks jose
