why is it that in the "Installing and Configuring Your ROS Environment " tutorial a line is missing

I have been using ROS for quite a long time and i can understand about setting environment but few of my friends who are newbie to ROS are finding it difficult to configure workspace since there is a line missing between

mkdir ~/fuerteworkspace/sandbox rosws set ~/fuerteworkspace/sandbox

I think the line should be as follows to make people understand it better and set up workspace easily

mkdir ~/fuerteworkspace/sandbox cd ~/fuerteworkspace/sandbox rosws set ~/fuerte_workspace/sandbox

Please look into this so that people get to work easy with ROS

Fuerte is almost 6 years old and has long since been EOL-ed. I don't think anyone should be using it any more. rosws is also not a tool that should be used with recent ROS releases.

Do you have any particular reason not to use a more recent release (like Indigo or Kinetic)?
