Part of the configuration can be done with the mouse. Your default desktop can start a special window where a prompt appears. By letting the mouse pointer rest on a shell window, you are focused on that window and are able to type commands at the Unix command prompt. However the Unix shells are more powerful. There is a disk attached to maxwell for storage of user data.
Data storage takes place in an area on disk called the home directory.
You have to create a directory with the same name as your user name before you can use this space. Files on these temporary disks will be automatically deleted after 7 days. Each button does something different. MB1 is the main button you will use when you are working in a window. Among other things, you will use it to activate windows, press buttons, select text etc.
