Hi Difflugia. Finally got some time to try this. Typically stumbling at the first hurdle. Running LINUX off Lubuntu 13.10, so have gone from PREPARE YOUR WORKING DIRECTORY straight to PREPARING THE FILES. Have got the following messages:-

office@office-desktop:~$ mkdir vox
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘vox’: File exists
office@office-desktop:~$ cd vox
office@office-desktop:~/vox$ mkdir superuser
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘superuser’: File exists
office@office-desktop:~/vox$ cd superuser
office@office-desktop:~/vox/superuser$ unzip ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
unzip: cannot find or open ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip, ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip.zip or ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip.ZIP.
office@office-desktop:~/vox/superuser$ mkdir superuser
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘superuser’: File exists
office@office-desktop:~/vox/superuser$ cd superuser
office@office-desktop:~/vox/superuser/superuser$ unzip ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
unzip: cannot find or open ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip, ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip.zip or ../Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip.ZIP.
office@office-desktop:~/vox/superuser/superuser$

I am obviously doing something basically wrong. I have been cutting and pasting your boxed instructions. Should I put in each line individually followed by a return? I know it sounds basic, but I am a true novice, even though I have been through a couple of Youtube tutorials. I would love to complete this challenge - please help, if you get time.

Thanks,
Roberto.
