hallo all

where can i find a fc3 files map? and i mean the system files avcorse

linux is a open source os avcorse and i feel i need to learn my linux to know every system file in it

so is there like a system map that will tell me the names of the files and what every file those ?

please help me understand my linux

I have has a similar problem

it has taken a while for me to find my way round a bit (ex windows user)

what files in particular are you looking for?

That's quite an undertaking! (On my system, there's 196478 files on my / and /boot partitions.)

You might want to have a look at 'rpm -ql' and 'rpm -qi'.
rpm -ql mozilla <- will list all the files in the mozilla package
rpm -qi mozilla <- will give some information on the purpose of the mozilla package

You can get a list of all the installed packages with 'rpm -qa'.

This:

is supposed to be the Linux filesystem standard, but most distributions don't stick to it too well. It might prove useful, though.

None of this will tell you what each individual file is for, but once you know the package a file came from, Google may be able to provide the answer.
