 |
|
I just recently got Gentoo up and running. When I'm in my bash shell, I am used to being able to switch to the next lowest directory by typing:
# cd..
However, this doesn't work in Gentoo. It doesn't work for either root or user. Is there a setting in /etc/skel that I would add? Any suggestions?
Thanks! |

| cd is a command, cd.. is not. To go to the parent directory, type "cd ..". You could set up an alias in ~/.bashrc, if you wanted to. |

Oh, to make the alias, do this:
| Code: |
echo alias cd..="cd .." >> ~/.bashrc
