File System Navigation question
I just installed Fedora on an old (2004) IBM box which I haven't used in a few years. I've had Linux on a machine a few years ago and have used AIX at work a few years ago so I've navigated file systems before, but I can't seem to get anywhere. If I ll or ls from my home directory, I see the subdirectories, but if I cd to one, say Downloads, I get "bash: cd: /downloads: No such file or directory". Have I forgotten something really basic and obvious? I can't get anywhere. I can wander around in the file system with a file manager, but not by command line.

download is i your home dir, so its full path is /home/yourusername/download. So from home, just do 'cd download'. Hope this helps. |
I'm getting the same thing:
[Me@DeadBadger ~]$ ll total 32 drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Desktop drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Documents drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Downloads drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Music drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Pictures drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Public drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Templates drwxr-xr-x. 2 rbradt rbradt 4096 Jan 10 12:45 Videos [Me@DeadBadger ~]$ cd downloads bash: cd: downloads: No such file or directory |
Linux is case sensitive, Downloads and downloads are two different dir's.

That's it! Thanks, Cliff! I thought I'd tried that, but I guess not. It was something basic and obvoius. Thanks for the help. Guess I've got a lot of cobwebs to sweep out of the Linux/Unix corner of my brain.

In that case, this will be useful http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz :)
