[Locomotive-users] general frustration

[ray palermo]

Should I just go by the book or is it possible to still use  
Locomotive while I'm learning. One thing that was confusing was that  
when I would try to do something setup-wise in terminal (without  
using Locomotive), I would get errors or other message that said  
something to the effect that what I was trying to do was in conflict  
with Locomotive, or that my commands were being ignored in favor of  
Locomotive's installation.
