To see which directories are in PATH you can do <BR/><BR/>echo $PATH<BR/><BR/>You could change the PATH if you want. This post is already a bit long :) so I'll hold off... Would you be interested in editing the path?Jeff Scudderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002167096451875802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33260599.post-66044517139430321672008-01-20T18:44:00.000-08:002008-01-20T18:44:00.000-08:00I am a real newbie to Linux.

I didn't get any errors and there are a ton of directories and files. <BR/><BR/>But, how do I run firefox? Typing firefox in several locations doesn't seem to do it.Ross Iseneggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837152655858983232noreply@blogger.com
