1442087 2017-11-16 20:57:00 Gotcha!

I noticed that you were HOME....so I did that, and I am trying to open TERMINAL from there - (learning curve minute here - wait for it!)

1442088 2017-11-16 21:00:00 What's the toughest part here is that i don't really know where files go once I download them or open them - or whatever.

I've always believed that the person who controls his files (where they go, how to find and file them) OWNS their machine.

So far I am still kinda lost about that concept here in Linux Hell.

But every time I screw this up, I build a better and better map.

That cd-part discombubulates me.

Is this going to need the original CD?

Or - is 'cd' a command?

Yes cd is a command, it stands for Change Directory

Just copy and paste each command into terminal in order and it should do the job
