Instead of just closing the terminal to start over, I'm going to type exit and try again.

I misread the cursor block for a one, eyes getting tired.

Still nothing different. If you're tired we can do this later. I'm tired, but I can keep going.
OP
You've pressed enter after
cd /timeshift/snapshots , that switched you to there, now the prompt reads
wait for my next post, please

You can either just
1. type in cd and press Tab and get the list and copy it
OR
2. type in and press Enter
cd ~/
This will return you to

2. type in and press Enter
cd ~/
This will return you to
and then repeat the exercise

I think maybe I'm too tired to understand! I don't want to frustrate you with all of this. I just don't know what it is I'm doing wrong. I think I'm putting the same command in, but sometimes it looks different.
OP
No, you're legend - exactly what I was after.
Let me digest it.

OP
Just backspace the cd to remove it and you can Exit Terminal, and you're done for now.
I have to do a few things, and I'll try to leave correct and correct instructions for examining the size of a couple of those snapshots.

I think I'm just tired. I looked back through all the commands. Normally I wouldn't have a problem putting it all together. Being tired makes it harder and I get confused.

I found several years ago that it did no good to tax my brain when I was very tired. The old brain refused to retain anything I tried to put in it.
Time is better spent resting up and then attacking things again. {I think that is one reason we human beings require sleep}.
Sweet dreams Sherri

OP
The part I was most looking for is the following, which in fact is a table
From where you first posted it, at #550, it can be read following the arrows
If you would oblige me, I would like you to run a "du -ah" on just a few of these - that's the command that spools out a lot of output, and leaves you on completion a figure in G's at bottom left.
So the commands for these are as follows
1.
2.
3.
4.
and
5.
No hurry for these, when it suits, and if you can just number the results, and I am only interested in the gigabyte/megabyte figures, so it may resemble the following
1. 8G
2. 4G
3. 8G
4. 500M
5. 1G
TIA
