like i said, i tried to build mplayer before and a whole lot of
problems. so i scrapped all of it and went a different way
here is the output you asked for..
-- [root at localhost Trash]# ls -la
total 24
drwx------ 2 jim jim 4096 Dec 28 09:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 jim jim 4096 Jan 6 11:31 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 jim jim 1524 Jan 1 12:40 .directory
[root at localhost Trash]# pwd
/home/jim/Desktop/Trash
[root at localhost Trash]# rm *
rm: cannot lstat `*': No such file or directory
[root at localhost Trash]#
