I downloaded this product, and initially said WOW. That changesd
meaning as I began to look around at the documentation. Sad. There is
much missing and a lot of what is there is outright wrong!
Does anyone know if this is due to rapid changes in the product, or
slow documentation people? I have tried to use the search feature to
search the past mails, but their search engine is broke due to a mount
problem it looks like.
There are two things I'd like to know off the bat:
1) If I have /tmp mounted on d:\temp, and can do cd /tmp, why does
/tmp not show up when I
do a ls -la / ?
2) I have the following line in my .bashrc file, copied from linux.
alias dir = 'ls -la --color=yes'
when I start bash, I get the following errors:
bash: alias: 'dir' not found
bash: alias: '=' not found
Any ideas?.
