Re: Problem mounting drives

Before we completely get off-topic (really, back on-topic), is there a command that will reveal the content of a directory?

Re: Problem mounting drives

is there a command that will reveal the content of a directory?

That would be 'ls' (as in 'list'). 'ls' has a multitude of options on how to present the information, something like 'ls -lhA' is commonly used (see 'man ls' for info), without giving a path to the directory it outputs the contents of current working directory

EDIT: Many people use aliases for ls (and options) to ease the usage, like:
ll='ls -lh' (list long)
and
lla='ls -lhA' etc (list long all)
Aliases are your own 'shortcuts' for commands, you can set them in your ~/.bashrc (if you use bash), for example...the format is:
alias ll='ls -lh', bashrc should have some samples for reference.

P.S. And now back to On-Topic :P

Re: Problem mounting drives

okaaaaay... too much info. I copy pasted that command the first time, and got nothing. which is why I said I got nothing XD.
Anyways, I think it might be a botched CD that I burned as my Amarok would not play MP3 even after the XINE engine has been updated. (it will always say that mp3 is not supported, and after I update it, tell me to restart it, and after restarting it, the same thing will happen again T.T
Need to clean reinstall, but too much work to do (have to install xbuntu to 40 Pentium III PC at my lab) and that will take more than 45 hours to be done considering that none of them have a CD drive and I only have one that works...
