The kind of question noone thinks anyone will ask
 

I am in console mode, and when I type ls to show the files, there are too many in it, i.e. /etc. Is there a way I can see the files in chunks?

Thanks, David

Several ways ... Perhaps most commonly ... ls | less

Thanks a lot, I owe ya one

Or save the output of the ls command to a file and view them at your leisure

And of cousre, if you know what "chunk" (technical term ??? :p), use wild-carding
