Howdy all........:-) I inadvertently typed " cd\ " (without the quotes) while at the root prompt. I got a what looked like a DOS prompt " > " (again without the quotes) so I am assuming that somehow I switched over to DOS mode somehow. I haven't even looked at running stuff from the DOS side yet as I have been concentrating on learning linux syntax, installing etc.
Anyways to make a long story short, now whenever I try to do a directory listing of root with " ls " (yes indeed, without the quotes) no directory names/files are displayed. If I switch to a subdirectory or do a "ls" (yep, you guessed it!<g>) with full directory path, then ls seems to work just fine.....it's only in the root directory that names aren't displayed. Any clues on this strange behaviour anyone? Thanks.....:-) Opps, almost forgot! How does one go about displaying which directory they are in as part of the prompt? eg: etc/foo/bar# rather than just having the "#" displayed (Need I mention about the quotes? <g>) "It's A Magical World, Hobbes, Ol' Buddy... ...Let's Go Exploring !" -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
