fedora core 2 xx8. 5xx version (not sure! not sure how to look it up either..(except on boot sorry!!))..
the linux version I started on last year was an old redhet 6.0 version with only text mode.. back then for some reason I knew I how to get rid of whole directories without a) going through the verbose which seems to be automatic on this version.. and also I seemed to know how to force the rm /dir with a -f I think.. right now rmdir -R (r ) isn't working and rm -f or -i isn't working .. so I have to move whole directories of about 2-300 files to the trash and stupidly I have never used trash on unix before and don't know how to empty it.. I tried the graphical user interface trash (empty button) still won't do it.. i can't get rid of these directories and I can't empty the trash..
would appreciate any input from anyone thanx moxx68:rolleyes:
Be careful..make sure you know that youre deleting the correct directory tree...
rm -rf dirname
version (not sure! not sure how to look it up either..(except on boot sorry!!))..
"uname" is the command for that. uname -r will give you the kernel version.
thanks for the input ....
thanx moxxx68.
thanx for your input dangral, and jody
it worked just fine..
i tried the uname -r and this is the version i got 268-1.521...
i guess that worked too but I am not sure what that is supposed to stand for other than the version of the software:D
thanx moxxx68
Do:
uname -a
And read up on the use of it:
man uname
