Re: Loosing communicator file
I did exactly steps 1 through 4 again and this time got an error message saying the
file had to be owned by root. Does that mean I have to download the file while signed
in as root? I was in root during the attempt at installation. I was not in root
during the download. I looked the file was in /tmp. I then tried to move the file
out of /tmp using mv before I lost it and it didn't work again. The file is lost
because I have to use email through windows and have to reboot because I can't figure
out how to use email. It seems to me if I can't move a file from one directory to
another there must be something wrong. I put:
mv communicator (I then hit tab) /usr
it seems to me, from what I read, I am doing it correctly but it doesn't work, this
is maddening. The only thing I have been able to do by myself is install the root and
get my mouse to work. After three weeks and with five books.
