Yes, this is correct. Similarly, if you were to: rm -rf .mozilla /usr/local/lib It would remove your $HOME/.mozilla (assuming you were in $HOME) as well as /usr/local/llib. Your $HOME directory *should* be fine. Unless you had a 'cd' directory, of course. ;) -- Glen Barber _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
