Does Redhat 7.3 have something like Windows Explorer where I can see
the file structure and be able to copy and move files? Would
appreciate the input.

Gosh, that's rather old and unsupported. I strongly suggest upgrading to
something more recent.

Nautilus.
Konqueror.
Rox.
Xfree4.
Midnight Commander.

Probably a dozen or so others. If they aren't installed already, then you
can always add them.

What window manager are you using ? If you're a newbie you should probably
be using Kde or gnome, which should have a link to their respective file
manager
somewhere on the desktop...
You should be able to start their file manager even if you're not using
them, but I
don't have a X system handy right now and don't remember the name of the
executables At the very least, you should have a program called xfm
installed,
juste type xfm& in a shell. But it really looks and acts old nowadays...

BTW redhat 7.3 is quite old, you should be using Fedora core 2 which is the
new
Redhat distrib.

I tried xfm but it didn't recognized it. My problem is that I am
trying to copy soem files on the desktop to a directory on my C: drive
called "test". How could I do that?

Hi John,
If you mean on the desktop in Linux, those files most likely exist in a
directory called /home/john/desktop or something similar.

At the shell/console, maybe try typing "man konqueror" or "which
konqueror" to see if they are installed. If a man page comes up when you
type man konqueror, it could well mean that konqueror is on the
system...if so, try simply entering konqueror and you'll be in business.
You can try the same test for nautilus, which is the gnome file manager.

If neither of those work, you might also want to go to this page...
http://freshmeat.net/projects/gentoo/
and download this program which is a file manager reasonably similar to
what you might want. There's a link to RPMs for it there as well.

There is no C: drive in Linux, unless you are trying to copy files to
your Windows partition, wherever it is mounted, perhaps /mnt/C.
