Lines: 12 I have a directory at home on my hard drive that doesn't have a . directory. I have been trying to rmdir it for a while. The directory is completely empty (including hidden files), but I get a directory not empty error. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea on how it happened. Has anyone got any idea on how to fix this problem? -- Geoff Skellams ( Weasel ) weasel@frey.newcastle.edu.au "He wasn't very loveable, but he was bloody efficient" - Kerry Packer, on one of his heroes, Genghis Khan
