Upon reinstall everything is working well. (Except for the usual hassle
getting X configured.) I looked at permissions on a different set of files
and wanted to change them but had no idea how. I got sidetracked and never
got back to that problem. I used ls -l to view them but had no idea where or
how to change them. Can you help?
Thanks,
