Two other questions:
1. How do I direct my console output to the Clipboard so that I can
forward it? Currently I do a cut paste.
ls foo.txt (create and overwrite file)
ls foo.txt (append to file)
2. How do I print documentation like Intro to Linux which is in HTML
Thanks, Sonia but I don't follow.
I know which partition has "/" and which has "/home". What I don't
understand is which one has the Ubuntu system and what is "/home" for?

In Linux you can have multiple partitions on a hard drive, and they

However, the reported contents of his /home is rather odd.

Or mounted what was intended to be the root partition under /home.
His / looked similar though, so they both have an install on them.

If I remember the beginning of the thread correctly then it was an
upgrade - maybe he installed the upgrade on his /home partition
instead of his /?
