Now it works!!!!! :-)

Thanks. I think that a good thing would be, for beginners like
me, a command "help" to do in prompt, like that of MSDOS,
but without those cryptographic "technical aspects". Something
more clean than man or info, like "ls do this, man do that,
cp do ...", including kernel compilation, what to do when a
library is in the directory but the program don't find it,
etc. Can anyone do this in a debian "tips-and-tricks_1.0.deb"
or "what-you-ever-whant-to-know_1.0.deb" package?
