Installing program with spaces in the name!
I know this is a stupid question, but bear with me - I'm new to Linux!!
I'm trying to install Photoshop 6 under Wine on Ubuntu Feisty, however the setup file is in a folder with spaces in the name. How do I run the install in these circumstances?
For instance
sudo wine /media/cdrom0/Adobe Photoshop 6/setup.exe
doesn't work
What syntax should I use?

Try,
The backslashes force the shell to use the next character "literally" instead of as whitespace separating commands.Code:sudo wine /media/cdrom0/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 6/setup.exe
Welcome to the forums!
EDIT: You could also use TAB to autocomplete the text. i.e. type the command as far as "Adobe" and then press TAB to autocomplete.Registered Linux user #388328 || Registered LFS user #15880
