THANKS for all the replies to my question: How to traverse directory tree sans filenames? There were a variety of answers, but the best answer was to use: find / -type d The main reason I want to do this is to compare the difference between directory layouts between SuSE and Redhat distributions. I wanna know why (precisely) some Redhat RPM's won't properly install in SuSE (and vice versa). Any insights into this question will be greatly appreciated!
