First of all, a member of Lubuntu dev pointed out that the way I posted about those two commands may have been confusing ............ the "-" is not part of either command. So just to be clear:

cd

Yep just those two letters, is used to change directories.

ls

Just lower case LS (I point that out because sometimes a lower case "L" is confused as upper case "i") is used to see what is in the current directory.

Now, as far as naming any folder or directory that's simply a personal choice. But, just as an example, since I test both Ubuntu and Lubuntu images look at the names:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Lubuntu
lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ ls
lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso   lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso
lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso    raring-alternate-i386.iso
lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso     raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old
lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso  raring-desktop-i386.iso
lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso   raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old
lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso
lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ cd
lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Ubuntu
lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Ubuntu$ ls
precise-desktop-i386.iso         ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso
precise-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old  ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
quantal-desktop-amd64.iso        ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso
raring-desktop-i386.iso          ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old
raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old   ubuntu-gnome-12.10-desktop-i386.iso
ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-i386.iso

You'll see that I have a "raring-desktop-i386.iso" in both "Downloads/Lubuntu" and "Downloads/Ubuntu". That's why I have to keep totally different folders/directories for different flavors.

Is that making any sense to you?

I hope I'm not just creating confusion.

Ok I found it. Zsync did put it in the /home
, but it made it's own file. now I'm going to make a copy for testing. Q. should I erase the one on my /home/jose/iso, and replace it with this one?. Zsync must do something that will recognize it's own, and for some reason it did not recognized the one I had in their. Q do I need to put a "s" on that directory file name (Like) /home/jose/isos?

Ok when I download a ISO it goes into downloads, Then I move it into my /home/jose/iso. That daid, I had a daily in that file before I downloaded through terminal Zsync i thought it was going to replace the one in the Iso file. Am I wrong? I do have one in the download folder now. Is that the one from Zsync?. I'm sorry if I'm making it confusing.

By default the terminal "looks in" Home, but if you have a previous iso that was downloaded using a browser that iso might be in Downloads.





Two very simple commands for working in the terminal are:



ls (That is lower case LS) - lists the files and folders in that directory



and:



cd - changes the directory



################



As an example if I open my terminal and type ls I see:



lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls

Backups  Documents  examples.desktop  Music     Public         Templates

Desktop  Downloads  I'm_lost.png      Pictures  Reorganize_me  Videos



If I cd to Downloads and then type ls I see:



lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads

lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads$ ls

Debian                                        LinuxMint   Misc_debs   Puppy

gcalctool_5.30.0.is.5.28.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb  lost+found  Misc_iso    Ubuntu

Kubuntu                                       Lubuntu     Peppermint  Xubuntu



That may seem confusing at first glance but I use and test other distros and *buntu flavors so I have to keep then separate ;^)



So I then "cd" again to get back to Home, and then "cd Downloads/Lubuntu", and then ls shows me the contents of that folder:



lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads$ cd

lance@lance-desktop:~$ cd Downloads/Lubuntu

lance@lance-desktop:~/Downloads/Lubuntu$ ls

lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso   lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso

lubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso    raring-alternate-i386.iso

lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso     raring-alternate-i386.iso.zs-old

lubuntu-12.10-alternate-amd64.iso  raring-desktop-i386.iso

lubuntu-12.10-alternate-i386.iso   raring-desktop-i386.iso.zs-old

lubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso



You can see there a list of the contents of Downloads/Lubuntu on my box.

Did that help or did I just cause confusion?
