Hi,
I've just installed FreeBSD 5.1, everything is fine, but when I wanted to remove a directory(with only one file in it), the system do not want to do that:
When I type
rmdir -p dir_name , it gives me as an output :
>rmdir: dir_name: Directory not empty
When I try
rmdir -rf dir_name , it gives me as an output :
>rmdir: illegal option --r
>usage: rmdir [-p] directory ...
I installed FreeBSD 5.1 from the CD-ROM which comes with "Linux CD" magazine
Maybe something's wrong with this CD ?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Edward
