OK...this is likely a very rudimentary and dumb question but...I tried
this copy command but nothing appears to have changed. Is there some
means, ala WinDOS and OS/2, to produce a "Path" statement somewhere so
that files\directories can be accessed from anywhere in the directory
structure? I ask because it appears that part of my problem, initially,
was being in the wrong directory when I ran the cp command (kept getting a
file not found message). Once I realized that new.xinitrc was in the root
directory, I went there and ran the copy command. OK, it appeared to work
(no error messages, at least) but then...nothing changed. I restarted X
Windows and it was the same old drab grey color as the default. I
shutdown and rebooted - same thing (I DID save my altered X windows to the
new.xinitrc).
I then began to wonder if I needed to specify the directory into which the
copy was to be placed (which is not indicated in the command string
above)? THAT made me wish that I had a path statement such that I would
not have to enter a bunch of extra location information on the command
line.
