I'm trying to remove the System Folder (OS9) as per this http://tinyurl.com/ld8ce however when I enter single user mode and type into terminal

$ mount -uw /

I get the message - sh: $: command not found.

What am I doing wrong?

This is the full command I'm hoping to implement

$ mount -uw /
$ cd /
$ rm -rf 'System Folder'
 
I don't know why that isn't working for you, but I find that site to be a bit outdated. HOWEVER, in the mean time, DON'T SCREW AROUND. Someone erased their whole OS X install earlier today by messing a space up in terminal. BAD MOVE if you don't know exactly what to do.
 
er...that could have been me (insert embarrassed smiley face here)

it appears that if I do it right there should be no problem. So why isn't it working?
