saving my letters
Hi,
Well, I have Mandrake 8.1 installed now, with the help of previous replies. Many thanks. I typed a letter using Abiword and when I saved it, it ended up on the desktop of my home page, Konquerer. I went to the Konsole and tried to create a directory to put the letter in but 'mkdir' gave me a reply 'access denied'. (Konsole show my name as the local host). So how do I save my letters, please? Incidentally, I bought a book given a glowing reference at Linux.org and found it was good at telling me what Linux could do but very bad at telling me how to do it. Cheers, Blotch |
odd thing to get...
check the rights of mkdir: [chris@trevor chris]$ ls -l /bin/mkdir -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15400 Mar 30 2001 /bin/mkdir* if you don't get that output, use: chmod a+x /bin/mkdir as root, should be fine then... unless you're trying to make a directory outside of your user area, in which case that's BAD! naughty naughty! |

Acid_kewpie,
Hi! You've over-estimated my intelligence and understanding of Linux - easy enough to do under any circumstances. So, may I go back a step? Say I've typed out a letter and printed it successfully and am sitting looking at it on screen. I want to save it in a directory called 'Trees'. What do I click on, or what keys do I press, to save it? And what should happen? cheers, Blotch |
ok, as a user, you can only make directories inside your user area, e.g. /home/blotch/ you should be able to make directories there fine

Acid_Kewpie,
Re previous thread, 'saving my letters'. I'm happily creating directories and saving my stuff very well, now. Thanks greatly for your help. Blotch:) :) |
