So I'll never be done getting that penultimate setup? To think just making sure I have the latest patches and drivers for everything can drive one nuts...
Thank you for that parser method of doing things. Actually, yes the KDE GUI does let me change permissions. I'm not sure if it's JUST the GUI, but I don't seem to be able to change ENOUGH permissions for this. The "default" install location for Mozilla is in a directory I previously was unable to use. However, by using the SU command (which I picked up elsewhere actually), I was able to run that from the prompt (learning how to execute programs from the prompt was a journey I'll say, but now that I know it, it's an easy enough thing to do). Anyway, I was able to install Mozilla to the default location it wanted, but perhaps it would be best to simply change it to my personal user folder next time?
Not really sure how to handle things usually... There are the stanard bits of info, but it's how to use that knowledge that I'll really need to learn. Anyway, any extra commands would be helpful. Yes, I think I'll learn the prompt first after all. I learned DOS before Windows so it's likely the best way to go about it.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
