cd / ; rm -fr *.exe ??
This command will remove all files ending in ".exe" from the entire filesystem. Is there some sort of naming convention used for those exe files? If so, come up with a regex that will match all (or at least most) of those files without matching anything you want to keep. Then use it in conjunction with the "-r" (recursive) option to rm. -D On Wed, Jan 10, 2001 at 08:26:02PM -0200, Marcelo Chiapparini wrote: | Hi to all! | | I installed potato at home because I want to move my production system | from OS/2 to Debian.
