I have SuSe 9.3 Pro and I am just learning to use it. I need to change the working directory from with in Shell but I can't find any help on this so can someone please advise what I am to do.

cd is the command to change directories

from the command line: help cd

will give a basic explanation of usage.

Here are a few other variables that might help you $HOME = your home directory $PWD = present working directory .. = takes you up one level

That being said, I'm wondering why you are logging in as su. Unless you need to install software system-wide, your basic account should do.

Thanks for the info I am logging in as su because I am installing some files neccessary for running programs to watch DVD's I have done what I needed, so thanks to all who helped. Special thanks to Dave Bottrill.
