OT: Compatibility Issues With Windows Files
Beside the space issue, you also might take care about globbing. If you e.g. cp * you won't copy hidden files of the directory, but all inside folders of the directory. If you e.g. rm *, you'll delete all files, including hidden files. Regarding to the mail addresses I suspect you're using braille. Anybody using a monitor, who isn't aware of some basic rules, could use GUIs instead of a terminal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
