I only ask because I was trying to get my partner to use Ubuntu, and was going to show her how easy it was but I could not initially access her hard drive (the live CD used pmount rather than mount). Anyway the to create folders, there are various ways. The one way that will work is if you go to a terminal and then type in the following mkdir [directory name that you want to create] This will create a directory (MaKe DIRectory) in your personal directory. I am sure however that with Ubuntu there are many other ways of doing it -- Henry Mon Nov 6 10:14:12 GMT 2006 Jon Davey wrote-> Hi, I don't know haw similar/different Ubuntu is from Debian but creating a new folder is the same as in Windows. A left click and follow the menu. Pointing out the obvious but this is how I do it.
