. (dot) is the current working directory and / (slash) is the pathname separator (on UNIX). So ./wine is actually a path where the first component is the current working directory and the second component is "wine", so you're saying "the file named 'wine' in the current working directory". ".wine" is a filename beginning with a dot. If you're still confused, try these commands... $ ls -a $ ls . $ ls ./ $ ls .. (.. (dot dot) is the parent directory) --Aidan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
