I think he just did that, above.  I suspect that the problem is that  
he is in the wrong directory.

Vincent:  if the wine_gecko-0.1.0.cab file is on your desktop, you  
need to go into the desktop folder in order to move it out.  Do this  
as follows:

cd ~/Desktop

After that, you should be able to run the 'mv' command to move it to / 
usr/share/wine/gecko.

(By the way, if you get permission errors when you do try to move it,  
you may need to prefix the mv command with 'sudo'.)
