I haven't seen anything that specifically covers permissions for noobs, but I'm sure a Google search would give you something that would explain it all...in a lot of words.
It's actually very simple. If you're trying to install something - chances are it's going to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Regular users do not have permissions to this, so do *that* as root.
you can always check the permissions and owner/group of a folder/file with "ls -lah", so you can see if it's writable for the "users" group. |
