thank you for the links, they are really useful, I keep forgetting about those. I do already have those, and have looked through a few of them. I learnt how to add Root Nautilus Launcher to the panel, and a few other things as well. What I really need is to be shown how to use the terminal, different commands and things. For example, I have an orange dongle, and need to compile something in it and it says that I need to do it to file on my desktop, but first I need to cd to it. Well, for some reason, I just cant work out how to get it to work. Things like that, if you understand what I mean. Sorry for being so dense. :( John -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
