Re: [newbie] mass multiple file erasure

You might try this one:

rm -rvf *.rpm

that should take out ever RPM file in the dir that you're issuing the
command and the one's underneath.

In the current dir :
  find . -name "*.rpmorig" -exec rm -f {} \;

To erase all the *.rpmorig in your system, replace the "." by a "/"

[newbie] mass multiple file erasure

[Vic]

What would I type in to get linux to
erase every single *.rpmorig file
on the drive or at least under the 
dir I am currently in (including the
subdirs) I already know 'rm *.rpmorig'
but it wont erase the files in other dirs
under me.
