Re: [Peterboro] terminal input



Hello Richard,

... and a small typographical, remove / before -      . then the first one is 
correct.  Notice $home is a representation to "/home/richard" not literally 
"/home". So if i used $home in my terminal it would represent "/home/anthony".








i am stuggling with trying to use this  terminal i have d/loaded a theme from 
gnome-look.org called slicknesS-black

extracted it to the desktop and then proceed to the teminal

this is  a copy of my  terminal,after the the first line failed i then took a 
look at the file propities and found it was  home /richard/desktop in sted of 
home /desktop but this also failed

my ubuntu version is  hardy heron any help with trying to  understand this 
would by much appreciated

rich...@richard-desktop:~$ sudo cp -r $HOME/desktop/slicknesS/-black 
/usr/share/themes
