[blag-whereto] new little guys/.icons

[Kazim]

If you want to get the best out of BLAG or any other distros of linux I
suggest you go through this guide fully:
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide

For your purposes now:

Get a terminal then a root prompt looks like: #
su -
[enter root password]

Now you have a prompt that starts with # (root)
Be careful what you do with this prompt you can screw the system
completely with just 5 characters and ENTER!

cd to the directory that *contains* really-little-guys

cd /home/linuxlibre/T [hit TAB]

ls

You should now see some directories listed, one of them should be
really-little-guys
Move really little-guys where you want it

mv -i really-little-guys /usr/share/icons/

You may have to change the ownership on that folder to the same as other
icons:
chown root:root /usr/share/icons/really-little-guys -R
