|
| su changes your credentials...

| OK, one more point. /USR/LOCAL/THUNDERBIRD is possibly a different
| directory again. Without the slash at the beginning, it's USR/...
| relative to your current directory, which is quite possibly /home/adam
| by default. So you'd get /home/adam/USR/LOCAL/THUNDERBIRD. With the
| slash, it's always relative to /, the "root" of the directory tree.
|
| Keeping these concepts clear should help you find your way around
| Fedora.
|
| Hope this helps,
|

Hi James,

Good point about the case sensitive and relative paths. When I replied,
I did not notice those little details. In UNIX/Linux case is sensitive.
