Actually, the file was not named '?' but named 'Ð', i.e. Oct Dec Hex Char Description 320 208 D0 Ð LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ETH (from man latin1 / man latin9).
Sorry, I have no idea what you're trying to tell me. I already knew and had said earlier that the original file was not called '?'. So I don't need to be told that, and I don't think we've seen enough information on list to know exactly what it was called, so I *would* be interested to know how you come to know it.
He got it from this Stakanov post:
]> $ touch ? ] touch ? ] touch: impossibile fare touch di ''$'\320': Permesso negato ] touch "?" goes back to prompt. or these: ] with [code] ] unlink /home/entropia/? ] unlink: operando "/home/entropia/\320" in più ] [/code] ] ] were "in più" is Italian locale and says: "extra operand" ] ] Trying su - and then unlink: ] # unlink /home/entropia/? ] unlink: extra operand ‘/home/entropia/\320’ ] I missed the importance of those error messages. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
