hmmm... this could be a problem as when I type in cd/home/user/MyDocs it says "not found"

Ok,

so far I have sucessfully installed Rootsh and downloaded the ScummVM 1.0.0-4 package, however the next bit I am stuck on:

mivoligo - when I type in your suggestion of...

"/home/user/MyDocs/.documents"

I get the response of "Permission denied"

any ideas?
You have to be root using:
Code:
sudo gainroot

cd (change directory) is a command... ;) The rest is the path... :)

So You need a space between cd and the path... ;)

First:
Code:
sudo gainroot
then:
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
and then:
Code:
dpkg -i scumm
and press TAB. It will autocomplet name of your file. After all Enter and that should be fine.

Are you sure you are root? Type in X-terminal:
Code:
whoami
after gaining root.

I seem to have installed ScummVM; there is an icon for it in the menu now... however it doesn't appear to open... I just get a blank page with the 'clock' loading icon going round in the top line...
