The posts go way up the page to where I can no longer see them, so I never see them when you guys edit or whatever it is. Sorry. Not much of a texter.

Once there's enough posts a new page is generated. Go to the top or bottom to navigate pages. This thread stands at 5 pages!

Oh you have got lots of patience !!

Now type the following and press <tab> from your keyboard and see if shell completes it ?

tar -xf fire

Does it again say the same thing when u issue the command ?

shimonbenyaakov 03-02-2010 07:15 AM

shimonbenyaakov@andLinux:~$ tar -xf firefox-3.6.tar.bz2

I pressed ENTER instead of TAB. This is what I got with TAB. Sorry about that.
