Creating a directory in 'home'
I'm trying to install as mentioned in this post: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=52085
but I've got a problem. Step 4 says 'place file in home/speedtouch-conf/firmware ' but when I do this I recive an 'access denied' error.
I'm new to Linux so please excuse me if this is a really dumb question.
Thanks in advance,
Benedict

You have to be root to write to /home
So you should run "su" to be able to create the directory.
btw, if you type 'ls -la' you can see the access rights of each file and directory.
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root NAME
for example means (explained from left to right)
it's a directory (the d in the above line)
the owner has read, write and executable rights (rwx)
the group has read and executable rights (r-x)
the others have read and executable rights (r-x)
the owner is root
the group is root
You can use 'chmod' to change these settings.
E.g. chmod g+w NAME to allow the group to write
chown and chgrp may be used for changing the file's owner and group

The problem with the line you post is it should be /home/your_user_name/speedtouch-conf/firmware. If the directory does not exist then use mkdir -p /home/your_user_name/speedtouch-conf/firmware then copy the file.
