I got the same results as bmarcum@iglou.com. Now I'm still running
just woody and will probably upgrade the week of 13 June 2005. I
guess I had better save a bunch of stuff.
I'm confused by your command ll. It wont run on bash for me. Is this
an akias for ls -l? Also don't see and /dev in
your output. Would you explain?
gayle@Gcomm:~$ cd /
gayle@Gcomm:/$ ls
XF86Config.new cdrom dvd home lib opt sbin var
bin cdrom0 etc initrd lost+found proc tmp vmlinuz
boot dev floppy initrd.img mnt root usr
gayle@Gcomm:/$ ll dev/mo*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout 10 May 30 2004 dev/modem ->
/dev/ttyS0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 May 17 2004 dev/mouse -> psaux
gayle@Gcomm:/$ ll dev/ps*
crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Jun 5 17:26 dev/psaux
gayle@Gcomm:/$
From my home directory, I just cd'ed to the root directory. Since dev
is itself a directory, I can cd to it as I did in the previous example
or use the local path as I did in the second example. As you guessed,
'll' is indeed an alias that uses the 'ls' command in the '.bashrc' file
that should be in your user home directory.
I'm sending my .bashrc file in a separate message for the benefit of
those who prefer to skip it.
