There is a very simple option to avoid typing all that, and still come up
with the right filename.
Type part of the name, e.g. usr/src/RPM/BUILD/I810  and then press the TAB
key. This invokes the autocompletion function of unix. If there is only 1
file that fits the name, the complete name will be finished for
you. Otherwise the candidates for the name will be shown and you can add a
few more letters to the name and hit TAB again.
Get used to it, and you'll love it :)
