There is / and > there is /root. Pretty clear to me. That is pretty clear, however when the question is aksed it is asked because the question asker does not know or have the foggiest what it is, now if one says, "so if one put both together it is called /root" then we create doubt in the mind of the question asker. This _is_ one of the most confusing things about the linux directory structure to a new user, its been asked here many times, thats why i stated it like i did, you must have missed the return post from the question asker, because he _did_ indeed get even more confused by the above statement. You know what it means so you understand, the statement was written by someone who knows what it is, a newbie has absolulty no idea what it is, thats why it has to be made clear. > > -- > ___________________________________________________________________ > Mark E Drummond Royal Military College of Canada > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computing Services > Linux Uber Alles perl || die > > ...there are two types of command interfaces in the world of > computing: good interfaces and user interfaces. > - Dan Bernstein, Author of qmail > > PGP Fingerprint = 503D A72D AF41 2AD1 D433 C514 98D9 9A39 B25A 2405 > -- Regards Richard.
