bun
ls
ls -l

both did not seem to work.

ya know I should remember that....

I will attempt later tonight or if nothing else, it is a Friday Project.
BTW when you are taking a CD from a a drive as it closes, it will render an install disk as a coaster after it puts a nice gouge in one side.....Thankfully I had another Ubuntu 8.04 disk....
