Hello:

I'm a relatively seasoned DOS/WinTel user but a brand new arrival to Linux thanks to Mr. Knopper, his dedicated crew and this fantastic linux distro. ;-D

Thank you, Klaus Knopper!

Just last night I was wondering about how to get around the same problem posted by Jesse. Went to shell with Ctrl+Alt+F1 but did not how to get back to the desktop. 8-/

Needless to say, I felt very frustrated as I looked all over but could not find the needed info.

eg:

How to list a directory content the same way I do it in DOS with the command c:\ dir /p ?

Or search all over a disk with c:\ dir *.abc /s ?

I am desperately needing a compendium of all the command line instructions the Linux shell will accept or a dictionary of DOS --> Linux commands so as to make my transition to Linux a bit less rispid.

Thanks in advance,

CIV
