Uh, rm -f /Volumes/NO\ Name/* unless you want to sit there and type "y" for every file deletion. :-) Change that "-f" to "-rf" if you think there might be subdirectories. Actually, just do rm -rf /Volumes/NO\ NAME/* and be done with it. :-) > (this woud remove anything in the card--careful, there's no undelete here) Big "ditto" here, in 72 pt bold italic type. > Note that the space in "NO NAME" needs to be 'escaped' by typing a > backslash before it when you are in the shell.

Well, the directory doesn't matter if you're specifying a full absolute path (starting with "/"). However, you better make damned sure everything after that "/" is correct and accurate, our you might lose a lot of stuff. I made the mistake one day of doing "rm -rf *" in the /bin directory. Good thing is was a virgin installation and I had the CD right next to me on the desk. > This should do. Strange though that you'd end up with no permissions > to write in that card. That sounds to me like either the "write lock" tab is "thrown" to the read only position, or something is seriously hosed in either the root directory structures on the card or your permissions on the box. I'm sure there's a Unix/Linux/GNU utility that will smoke the root directory and partition table and let you start over, but I can't recall exactly how to do it at the moment. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
