I have recently recieve a Zaurus SL-C760 as a gift and I\'ve been trying to understand the bizarre command system in the \"terminal\" application. I simply want to know what command is what (i.e.- what do I type in when I want to access a file on the CF card, and what do those, if any, commands mean?). I have had great difficulty finding anything regarding shell functions or a table that shows the definition and purpose of each command and examples of proper syntax. I have tried many suggestions, but without success. (I ALWAYS get the annoying error message regarding nonexistent files and directories (even the suggestions displayed after the \"ipkg --help\" commant do not work at all).
Any help or accurate working referances will be greatly appreciated!

Here is a pdf file quick reference for Linux Bash Shell Commands:

And here is a pdf file I find most useful regarding Linux system administration:

P.S. The SD card is mounted under /mnt/card
and the CF card under /mnt/cf
cd /mnt/card
ls (to bring up a listing of the files)
Most likely they\'ll be in sub directories, like Documents/image/jpeg Documents/audio/mpeg Documents/Application/ipkg etc.
Learn these directory settings, and read up on Qt at http://www.trolltech.com/ (http://www.trolltech.com/)
Any file on your SD card should show up on your documents tab....if you just single click it an appropriate app will open it.
If you want and \"explorer-like\" file manager, download and install explorer_1.0_arm.ipk from the Zaurus Feed.
Cheers,

Thanks! Ill give these a try!

btw.. the \"bizarre\" commands are commands under \"linux\" ...
perhaps research linux commands, etc.
