In the first attempt, you changed my ~ to a -. Then, in the second one, you put in a $ at the beginning of the line, but you put the ~ in correctly! If only you had NOT put in the $ ~and~ left the ~ as is, you would have gotten the intended result.<br>> <br>> BTW: '~' is a bashonym for your home folder, and '$' at the beginning of a command in a document means you may run the following command as anyone, even a non-root user, as opposed to '#' which means you must run this command as root.<br>> <br>> David L.
