Doing some work as root, moving around some packages I dl'ed I made
two errors and am wondering what happened. First, I was moving
files into a subdirectory and used the wrong slash once (i.e. mv
myfile \subdir) and the file is now gone. Second at one point I
typed 'mv ~root/myfile* ' and forgot the dot ..that file is gone
as well. Shouldn't I have gotten error messages instead?
Thanks for any info.
Michael G.
