in lunix I want to explore directories and files on my Centos 5 distro but cant find which command to list all directory's on the system I've downloaded the Centos 4 - 5 manuals but cant see it.
I can use
Quote:
ls -all
in the current directory and can change directory but cant see what directories I have to change to
It should be straight forward. You might want to check if it's already in you repo list and install it from there to avoid any potential dependency issues.
Lol.. I never thought to try that. However I'm logged in as root at the command line and typing just gives me 3 files anacanda-ks.cfg
install.log
install.log.sys
Is there a way of listing the whole directory structure across a drive
Andy
if you want to use tree, you can download and install. However, if you can't download and install, you can use find. Eg of the simplest syntax of find you can get.
Code:
# find / -print
or
# find / -ls
like i said before, check the man page of find (or ls) for more info
It depends on your desktop environment (KDE, Gnome, XFCE, fluxbox etc.). Google will have answers for each one, so do a quick search and see
In KDE (which is what I have to hand) you'd open the Control Centre via the K-menu > Settings, then go to Regional and Accessibility, then go to Keyboard Layout, and select the appropriate keyboard layout there. I imagine it's not that different in Gnome.
You can also change it for your ttys using the loadkeys command, although I've never used it, since I always select a UK keyboard layout during installation
