Ok, I have read through the compiling guide and so on once more, make sure I didn't miss anything. But, when I download and unzip the file it tells me to, then boot the bash shell, and type 1s, it tells me the command is not found and does nothing.

Have no fear, Archel, you'll get used to the linux commands eventually. ;) Remember that man <command name> is your friend. ;)

It is LS in lower case. That is, ls.

Short for LiSt.

The basic Unix commands were deliberately short, to save typing:


cd - Change Directory
mv - MoVe file
cp - CoPy
ls - LiSt
rm - ReMove file

Indeed, well, I figured out how to compile it and all that good stuff. However, when I took out the define lines for who it still wants the "Who 1" to be typed.

Who 1? That isn't in FUSS. Like we've mentioned, we suggest using FUSS.

Make sure you've compiled and rebooted.
