yes, that's embarrassing.
i just would like to know how to, when you're in the console, enter a directory. let's say i open the console from the desktop but i want to go in my home/(user)/downloads directory. what do i write?
also, i had to open the inittab file in order to install graphic drivers (http://www.linuxsolved.com/forums/ftopic9.html). i typed something like file:/etc/inittab in konqueror and the file opened. the problem is i had to be logged in as root to modify it. i know the su - password thing, but i would i open this file as root?
just for example, ive got my drives mounted (one with all the games and program and the other with windows) but i cant save or delete files from the first one (win_c) because it says i dont have the permission. my brother told me i had to be root to do so. how would i go in that drive on root?
i know it may not be clear, but if you understand, answer me, pleeease.
thats easy stuff but i just dont know it.
thanks!
