Getting ti 'File System" from "Root"?
 

How so I get from the "Root" directory to the "File System" directory in terminal mode?

What nonsensical question is that? What is a "File System" directory?
Are you confusing the '/root' directory with the '/' directory?

I got that name as a result of using Thunar (the file manager), but thanks for the clarification.

Its hard to piece together what you are asking without the context that you were talking about thunar. To me it looks like "File System" in thunar is the same thing as the root directory ('/' directory). So to navigate to the root directory in thunar you just start there.

Hope that answers you?

Thunar displays a "File system" entry for each partition on the machine. You can see which device each entry refers to by hovering the mouse pointer over it. The answer to the question is going to depend upon which device it is, whether it is mounted and the location of its mount point.

In terminal mode? That would be as simple as 'cd /'. Entering in 'cd' without any flags/options will go to the home folder of the logged-in account. 'cd ~' will also take you back to your home folder.

Type these commands in your terminal as root:
This is basic stuff. Are you trying to learn command line interface (CLI)?

Actually, I was trying to compile and install some drivers for my video card, but in order to do that I needed to blacklist the default video driver, then get to the directory where the compiled driver files were located, but I wasn't sure how to go about doing that.

You're being incredibly vague, lol. If the driver you are trying to compile was a slackbuild script, the built package would be in /tmp, but that does not sound like a slackbuild script to me. If you tell us what you're trying to do in details, maybe you'll get helpful and accurate responses. It'll be helpful to know what graphic card you have and the driver you are trying to compile for it.

Here's a link that may help you out: https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:ha...aphics_drivers

Maybe it's best if you start off a new topic with appropriate title on your graphic card issue as this one is pretty much solved.

And here are the links to what I was trying to compile:https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...acy340-kernel/
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...acy340-driver/

From that page: The /extra directory is part of the installation media of Slackware. The packages in the Slackware installation media is installed with tools like installpkg.

Does this answer your question about how to blacklist the opensource driver? Or are you still confused about "File System"?
