.picodev Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 You have to use the breakout character for the spaces.. \ , so it would be "cd /Volumes/Snow\ Leopard/System/Library/Extensions" One more quick tip,when you know the names of folders,example just type Sno and press Tab,it will autocomplete the name for you.
