If you accidentally hit enter after "cd" (so that you just issued the cd command, without a directory), you'd have changed to your home directory. I'm always super cautious with recursive and wildcard deleting, if you do it badly, you can match on .. and go back *up* the directory tree. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
