Please help, i installed x11 and now i cannot change directories in terminal and in x11. It just gives me the error /usr/bin..Permission Denied. Please help, i want to get fink and kde working, but dont know to do that either. So, if you can fix my first problem can you help me with fink too? I downloaded fink, but when my name and privealges WERE working i typed fink and it would say fink was a unknown command. I want to get KDE running under X11, can anyone give me like almost step-by-step instructions?

TIA,
Justin

UPDATE - I even booted from the Jag CD that came with my powerbook and repiared permissions there, the problem still is here. Someone please help!

could you open Terminal and type env.
print the output of that command here so we can look at what your problem might be.
