Run the command: rm -rf * in the asterisk root folder and then execute rmdir Firstly, this won't work, since there are a couple of . files in there (.version for example) Secondly, that isn't the sort of command to provide to a newbie lightly. You might try this if you don't like the other options to mv the directory to a different name: rm -rvf /usr/src/asterisk rm is to delete a file r = recursively delete all files and folders that it finds v = verbose so it will tell you what it is doing (CTRL-C if you realise you have made a mistake to stop it!) f = force (ie, don't ask for confirmation on every single file/directory) Use man rm and man rmdir for more information.

Sorry I'm new to Linux, as if you havent guessed. Googling hasnt helped so far The easiest way (leaving a backup) is to: cd /usr/src mv asterisk asterisk-Jan2 mv libpri libpri-Jan2 mv zaptel zaptel-Jan2 and then do a complete new checkout. If you don't like the new checkout for whatever reason, then restoring the original source is nothing more then reversing the above steps. (Note: if you restore the source noted above, you may have to remove the modules that were installed in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules as well.) ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

When I check out a new CVS version, I move my /usr/src/asterisk / zaptel / libpri into /usr/src/backup-dd-mm-yy/asterisk etc This way I have a backup in case it doesn't compile, and a fresh checkout.
