T-Perm is for EP/CP. For setups of CO and EO, do any setup to get them into the position you need. Re-read the guide, and understand it before you move to the following step.
Okay EO is easier to understand. Basically you know your flip algorithms. Let's pretend you hold your cube white on top blue in front. On the top and bottom layers you want to have white and yellow facing up/down. And you do not want Blue/Green facing up/down. On the Front and back side, you want the white/yellow facing outwards and green/blue facing green/blue.
Is it like this... lets say the front colour red and top white.... if the RU colour is blue and UR is red is rong?.... the front or back colour must me facing right?
Shawnlee: Go through and example solve, follow exactly what is happening and why it is happening, and then you should understand the basics. If you need help after that, link me to the example you were looking at and which step exactly you didn't understand.
