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.
