(It was the first question I asked on the users mailing list.) Now that I am familiar with 'find' and 'grep' etc. I no longer worry about it. However, 'ls' is probably the first commandline command a beginner learns. It seems illogical, that 'ls' wouldn't have a flag that just shows files when it has a flag for directories. It can cost newbies hours looking for a solution that isn't there. Couldn't the shell maintainers just add an appropriate flag to show files only? -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
