I hope this helps, it would appear Virtual Box has a GUI, i.e. you don't need konsole.

I'm following the instructions on How tO iNSTALL vERTUALbOX but after i download it , i need to use konsole to install . It tells me to CD to location to enter command . Problem is i can't seem to cd in konsole to location of where i have app . Still needing help . Unless there is another method to install . All i need is to cd to a location in konsole . When in konsole i enter the command " cd /home
" but tells me no such directory "  What am i doing wrong

"cd /home" seems right to me, try putting it on the Desktop, and try "cd Desktop", (then if you put it inside a folder in the Desktop "cd [foldername]").

Browse to the directory where you have downloaded the file and choose "Open terminal" from the "Tools" menu of Konqueror(or just press F4). The console will open and automatically go into the directory.

Here is a few commands to browse your files in a terminal (konsole) :

Code:

pwd

prints working directory, thus show where you are.

Code:

ls

lists files and directory of the working directory. Directory names are written in blue.

Code:

cd

changes the working directory. For example, if you open a konsole and  type cd Desktop, then press the ENTER key, you have changed the working directory from your home to your desktop.

Code:

man name_of_a_command

Show the manual page of the command.

Additionnal tip :
Press the TAB key to auto-complete a name of an existing directory or file. For example, cd De <TAB press> automatically writes cd Desktop.

Browse to the directory where you have downloaded the file and choose "Open terminal" from the "Tools" menu of Konqueror(or just press F4). The console will open and automatically go into the directory.

With the addition:
Enter in the terminal the command

su

and give the administrator password.
An then enter the command

sh VirtualBox-1.6.4-Linux_x86.run

......... When in konsole i enter the command " cd /home " but tells me no such directory "  What am i doing wrong

My cd /home output:

Wachtwoord:
asrock-pardus ~ # cd /home
asrock-pardus home # ls

asrock-pardus home #
