UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I've learned quite a lot in the past 24 hours especially what not to do ever again! We are waiting on an OS CD which we never had to finish up. once we get the Cd we can link the file accordingly (Finger's Crossed)

Thanks to everyone who tried to help. Much Appreciated

I'll let you all know the outcome once I know.

Feel much better. nothing beats a hair cut and a shower to get right back into work. I better get a day off for this

First of all, you should not be deleting anything, until you have surveyed your file system and determined what are the large files that may be causing problems.

So, I disagree with anyone who advised you to "delete this" and "rm that"....

Since you have no idea how to admin a system, you should not be using the "rm" command for anything at all.

First, you need to learn how to move around the file system, search for files, and list them.

The advice above is wrong for a newbie who has zero knowledge of the file system.

Never advise anyone to remove files using the rm command who does not know how to navigate a file system, search for files, list them, etc.
