Fold-Server Half way working

[mike400hp]

Alright I have a Linux newbie question again...

I'm trying to follow the documentation for Fold-Server and I'm having a problem. The documentation says,
"If you can't get this going from the above output, here it is step by step.

* First, get into a terminal as root. You may either log in to a console as root (press Alt+F(number) keys to change what console you're on) or, when in X, right-click on the desktop, go to "XShells", and select "Root Access".
* To make sure you start in the right place, enter "cd /root". This will make sure that you end up in the /root directory.
* Enter "./getfold.pl". Remember, tab completion is your friend!"

I right click the desktop... XShells... click Root Access...
My screen reads: "root@fold-server:~#"

I type "cd/root" and I get "bash: cd/root: No such file or directory"

I type "./getfold.pl" and I get "bash: ./getfold.pl: No such file or directory"

How do I get to the correct location under root to run the ./getfold.pl? Thanks!!


NEVERMIND:
I fixed my own problem. It does look like there is a space between cd/root in the documentation. I was just playing around and found that you need a space, "cd /root". NEWBIE!! LOL

With Linux you have to plug at it until something happens. I had a similar experience installing Damn Small Linux.

not only is linux space sensitive, it's case sensitive also

not only is linux space sensitive, it's case sensitive also

There is good and bad to everything. I like the case sensitive action, and besides with Tab-Completion you don't have to type the whole thing.
