my xwindows refuses to boot becasue the fontserver is dead, but i have some work on the roots desktop and i would like to move it onto my windows partition and i would like to know what commands i should use to copy or move the contents of my work folder to the windows partition, thanks for any help :)

man mv and man cp should help.

I'm asuming you're using kde, and that the desktop is in $HOME/Desktop

in the comandline type: cp -R /path/to/desktop/ /path/to/windows/partition/

then it should copy the whole desktop to wherever in the partition you specified.

to copy just a certain file, do cp /path/to/file.* /path/to/windows/partition/
