Some advice needed |

Good day.Dont know if this is bug, or me.
Installed Ubuntu Notbok on my laptop to try it out.
Planing of getting new laptop, and not having it with Windows.
I am not much of a computer man. Mainly user.
From beginning just learned enough working with Dos to get by.
Now looking at, possibility of playing old games, was getting Dosbox (installed and works) and following Ubuntu instructions, how to get it to work.
In my line of work, i spend months at a time with out internet, on board a ship, so passing time playing the old games looks appealing. Reson I want to give Ubuntu thurough test before I purchase new machine with that as the only OS.
Came to a standstill when creating new directory. Next 3 lines are copy from terminal, of what happened.
address@hidden:~$ mkdir ~/dos/c
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/jens/dos/c': No such file or directory
address@hidden:~$
If you could advice me, of what I am doing wrong.
Best regards.

The problem is that you're trying to make ~/dos/c
without making ~/dos first. This should work:
mkdir ~/dos ~/dos/c
And this will also work, and it'll be a bit simpler:
mkdir -p ~/dos/c
Admittedly the mkdir diagnostic is pretty bad here.
