|    Linux equivelant of "Del *.*"    |

      From: Daniel47@teranews.com              I.m using SeaMonkey Internet Suite as my Browser/E-mail agent, and, to       give the developers a bit of a hand, I'm using the Beta versions.       SeaMonkey tries to release a new version every six weeks, and, for each       release, there can be several Beta's with-in each six-week period.              This means I seem to be forever installing a new version of SeaMonkey,       and, to save any cross-contamination between versions, before installing       the new Beta's, I want to completely remove the old version, effectively       deleting the directory that SeaMonkey and all its sub-directories are in.              In Linux (as root), I seem to be issuing lots of rm *.*'s and hitting       "Y" heaps with the occasional rd (directory). Back in DOS or Win3/95/98,       I'd probably have just entered something like "Del *.*" and "job done".              Is there something like this for Linux??              T.I.A.              Daniel              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
