Hello,

Thanks for the reply. How do you get to a command prompt or window to issue the command?

When people want to learn the command line quickly, I usually send them to This site as it's completely devoted to the Linux command line.

Do you have an manual for it? If you do, you would benifit from reading it. If not, just move your mouse over every icon. This should pop up a description box. Look for thing that say terminal or rxvt. These are the cmd programs in Linux.

To get to the command terminal do the following:

Click the Red Hat (main menu)

Then select System Tools ---> Terminal
