[LBo] Missing operand?

> Everything went well and i used the $ more INSTALL
An alternative to more that is better is the command less (use the up
arrow key or page up to go back)

> to read the IMSTALL and README file where i was informed i had to copy the skype binary to /usr/bin
The Skype binary is probably "skype", and "skype.conf" looks like a
configuration file that belongs whereever the binary looks for it,
(possibly /usr/share/skype).

> and installing sounds/ and avatars/ into /usr/share/skype. So i used: cp skype.conf/usr/bin and when i pressed enter i was met with an error message which stated:

> cp: missing destination file operand after 'skype.conf/usr/bin
The command "cp" means copy argument1 (file) to argument2 (location)

The answer is "nothing". That is you need to put a little bit of nothing
(a space) between the filename and the location.
e.g. $ cp skype.conf /usr/bin

Good luck
