a quickie
just a quick question: is there a command to set a list of commands? what i mean is a way to create a command to cd into the NWN folder and run ./nwn by just typing nwn at the console.
Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

You can do this by creating a shell script and then making that shell script executable. The script would be called nwn and say this:
Then you'd chmod +x nwn and put it somewhere in your user's PATH (like your home directory, or /home/username/bin) and you should be able to run it from there. That's what I do, anyway.Code:cd /home/username/nwn ./nwn
