My rm doesn't ask an, Are you sure? question any more. Is this something I opted out of? a setting somewhere? on install? or something changed in SuSE? The man page says it should; like I remember it doing on my previous Linux (redhat).

use 'rm -i' if you want to prompted for confirmation. You can this an alias by adding alias rm='rm -i' to your ~/.bashrc (or whatever is appropriate for the shell you using) and running source ~/.bashrc -- -ckm
Thanks. Got it. Put the alias in profile.local.

I believe if you type rm -i it will ask you for confirmation before deleting the file. You probably can alias this somewhere so that if you type rm it will automatically do rm -i. Unfortunately I do not know where, but I am sure others on the list do know. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.
