Your last two paragraphs are a little harsh but I understand that Linux is not Windows since I have been using KDE for close on 4 years. The cli is new territory to me so just like KDE was a new GUI 4 years ago my learning curve just restarted in the vertical plane.
I appreciate all the help and pointers but not understanding the internal workings like I wish to, it is a little difficult to make headway without pleading totally stupidity.
If all you see is a GUI, if you don't understand how the GUI is an overlay for the underlying commands, then there isn't really a lot of difference between KDE and Windows. http://faculty.georgetown.edu/irvinem/theory/Stephenson-CommandLine-1999.pdf The "internal workings" are the basics of any computer language, strings, variables, commands, evaluation of variables, passing parameters -- by address or by value, indirections, and such like. They are not unique to the shell. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
