Have been going through things, its slow, and I'm stuck. I have actually been going through that book, I think it was Lucy on here that posted about it a while back, I have been finding it really useful. I have been able to get into the site find my way around, and get right into files, using nano, but I am pooping myself, trying to edit them. Took me a while cause I kept on going to a certain folder, but not giving the correct commands after that, and being told all the time that the folders I'm looking at arent there. Hope that makes sense. I wasnt looking at what was just before the $ and once I realised that, I found it made sense and I could navigate further in. The other things was, I am not used to how the Directory is, as I'm used to public_html tree, and its learning that as well, that has taken a while, but having the tree open in Places has helped. Now I can navigate straight to a Directory I want, as soon as I log in (this is both in Ubuntu and Putty if I'm in Windows). Its taken me a while and a lot of sweating just in case I mess things up. I am in the process of learning the copy and remove commands just before I edit something in a file. I am now finding it frustrating because I cant copy and paste from my desktop to the file plus saving what I have done, cant work that one out yet, its probably very simple, but I am trying. But at least I have got that far. That is my update. John. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
