Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: help a novice. (PART II) Date: Mon, 01 Jul 1996 06:26:54 GMT Organization: Anet Lines: 28 Message-ID: <31d76f64.6864854@news.axxcess.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.103.92.59 X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99d/32.182 A few more questions: 1a. How do I access the floppy drive?? 2a. When I type in...fdformat(1) or another command that uses the ()'s, it say "Badly placed ()'s", where do i place them? thanks, shaun. Okay, as the subject says, i know very little about UNIX, but i am learning, so if you could answer the below stupid questions, i would be enormously appreciative: 1. How do I change the permissions? I am the administrator, but i can not even make a directory, nor download a file. 2. What command do i use to access the floppy drive (a:)?? 3. Is there an online guide for the stupid? That would be cool... thanks, shaun
