[blag-whereto] new little guys/.icons

[PoorDog]

Tristan,

I also forgot to mention that you can't copy/paste into /usr/share/icons 
using your file manager unless you launch it as root user. That's what 
"sudo mv ~/Downloads/really_little_guys /usr/share/icons" is for. 
Writing to /usr/share requires root user privileges.

You can ignore my command line instructions and just copy/paste the 
really_little_guys folder into ~/.icons. You can use your file browser 
to copy and paste the folder and you don't need elevated privileges  for 
writing to your own home folder.

If you want to install the icons for all users, that's when you would do 
"sudo mv ~/Downloads/really_little_guys /usr/share/icons" instead, but 
you don't need to worry about that - just copy/paste to ~/.icons instead.
