When using 'rm -f' (with or without '-r') the iron rule is (1) goto the dir which contains the items to be removed (2) 'pwd' (3) 'ls <whatever>' (4) if <whatever> is not '*', recall that line with Up-arrow, backspace over 'ls' & replace with 'rm -f' (5) sit on hands for >= 10 sec while examining the results of (2 3 4) (6) & only then, 'rm -f <whatever>'. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
