help with bash commands
 

hi,

i am very new to linux,
and i currently i'm stuck with Bash,
as i can't get X running yet.

where can i find a list of all Bash commands?
i've been browsing around, but can't find a list.

and with the ls command,
i can't make it show me all,
it shows the contents of the directory,
but it just goes to the bottom, i can't see all of it
if the contents of the directory are bigger then what LS can put on my screen. how do i make it like stop after each full page, so i can browse the contents, and then when done, just press a button or something and see the next fullpage up until the entire list is done.

anybody that can help me with this?

You can pipe the output of ls to less (i.e. "ls | less") and you'll be able to scroll using the arrow keys, or use Page Up/Down.

If you want Bash built-ins, you can probably find them in the Bash man page ("man bash"). For command line programs in general, personally I'm not aware of an entire list.

You can find a list here with brief descriptions about each command. If you want to learn more about a command, ls for example, you'd run..

and it display the manual page for ls.

thank you guys,

yes i read the ls manual pages.
but couldn't find what i was looking for.

this is the first time i ever installed linux
and that went all good, but then i was faced with a command line
i found out on www.slackware.com that it's bash,
and how to get into the manual pages and i found a few basic commands.
but i couldn't find what i needed to know in the manual pages.

thanks again
