But, I've got all these 00_TRANS.TBL files to delete. Been doing $ it manually, but it sucks. Tried various combos of rm -r, to no avail. is this freebsd 2.0 or 2.0.5? what about the cdrom install didn't work for you? $ Tried "find / -name 00_TRANS.TBL | rm -f" which just gives me the error $ message showing proper syntax use of the command. find / -type f -name 00_TRANS.TBL -print | xargs rm -f ^^^^^ it's not a freebsd thing, it's a unix thing. $ I cant seem to get the system prompt to display the current working $ directory. Help with this would be nice. it depends on the shell you use. i believe the unix faq has a section devoted to this. try ftp'ing it from rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/unix-faq/ (i think). faried.
