People answering questions on mailing lists (and other online 
documentation) will often give commands that need to be run. Sometimes 
these instructions will show a typical shell prompt too. So, for 
instance, an instruction to run the command "chmod 664 /dev/hdc" will 
often be written as:

$ chmod 664 /dev/hdc

The "$" here is supposed to indicate the shell prompt. You might also 
find people writing this as "#" to indicate a command that should be run 
as the root user:

# chmod 664 /dev/hdc

In your case your shell prompt (for the root user) appears to be 
"[root at localhost ~]#" but this will vary from system to system, which is 
why the shorthand "$" or "#" is usually shown instead.
