Go ahead and laugh. I need to change the permissions for a directory. I installed a epub manager (calibre) and made another folder to move books out of the download folder. It makes easier to keep track which ones I have imported into the program.
I did the ls -l thing and can see the directory, and see that is owned by root, and that is not surprising, since I made it since I was still as root installing the program. Dumb, I know. And, I did the su thing and typed in the password, so I thought I was ready to go.
But I'm doing something wrong because it gives me 'no such directory' when I try to cd to it and change the permissions. And I can see the directory right in front of my face. I tried to follow your instructions in the tutorial to chown it, Rob, but I guess not well enough. It will be funny later, but I am missing something here.
Yes, it is my own very first Linux. Mint 15. And, I very much like it. It will not be very not long before I use that other drive that has winblows on it for something else.
Thanks, Larry
