Hi! Just a basic question. How do I delete multiple files in Linux. rm *.* didn't want to delete all the files (not at least those that wore "hiiden" .xxxx like). I had to feed one file at the time to get them deleted. Cheers! - tk

rm -f * the -f means don't prompt for each one. You sound like a guy who might like Midnight Commander. Type "mc" in an xterm or console window. Just touch insert on each file you want to delete to highlight, and hit F8. It's addicting, and you eventually loose the ability to do the commandline properly. :-) -- $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}
