Slackware

[LSA]

What are the permissions of the files?

[Hunted]

I don't know how to check. I am new to Linux as you can see.

There is a switch for the ls command can't remember it right now and I have to get off the computer for a bit, so good luck

ls -l with show you the permission

they should say something like

rwx - rwx - rwx they stand for read, write and execute. the first set is for the user the second for your group and the third are for world.

chmod 777 will give you the above and chmod 755 will give you rwx-rx-rx

it should also display who owns the file and which group they belong to.

Did that work for you, Hunted?

Shouldn't you have a $ prompt if you're root in Slackware?

It does not matter. The PS1="?" shell variable can change the prompt to whatever you want.

PS1="shn"
export PS1

I don't know... I don't think I am ready just yet for Slackware, I will just add it to my collection of Linux cds, lol for when I feel like using it.
