That's a bit like "Liv Tyler walked into my home, took all her clothes off and lay on my bed, but I have no clue what she wants me to enter." ;-) > If I enter / is states "permission is denied." Try this command instead: $ echo crezvffvba tenagrq | tr '[a-mn-z]' '[n-za-m]' > I have installed Windows NT 4 many times, and it works. Lucky you. I had to install a third party package called "Cygwin" before I could even get it to display the "$" sign, and even then it worked very poorly.
