Linux Console Commands + Installing Opera on Kubuntu Linux

Post by JAB Creations »

DOS to Console
cd directory == cd directory
cd.. == cd .. (space between cd and .. in Kubuntu)
dir == ls
program.exe /? = help (kind of)

My main issue (besides that none of this should be necessary to install a program such as Opera) right now is getting back *up* a directory.

Also I named my Opera 9.5 folder "Opera 9.50" (case sensitive). I tried "cd opera9.50", "cd Opera 9.50", and "cd Opera9.50" all without success. No I'm not going to use the GUI to rename the folder because that would be total lame-sauceing on figuring out the console maze.

I should probably clarify that I have Kubuntu 8.04 using KDE 4 "Remix" installed if that matters.
