Is there a way to globally have file sizes read out in kb and mb? I use KFM but it would be real nice in rxvt as well. I have a hard time relating to bytes. I'd much prefer to get paid in dollars, not pennies. Know what I mean? :-) Suse 6.2, KDE 1.1.2, kernel 2.2.10.

There's a `-k' switch for ls but it doesn't seem to do anything. You should give `du -h' a try.

If you use it with -s, it does. "ls -s" prints the results in k by default, but if you set POSIXLY_CORRECT it prints the result in 512-byte blocks, and -k can be used to override this.

Good to know :-) I only tried `ls -lk' and expected ls to display the sizes in KBs. Ciao, Stefan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
