Has anyone ever seen a file that has no permissions and no ownership?
[root at mail ~]# ls -l /home/afry/Drives
total 0
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /home/afry/Drives/My_Floppy
I don't know why this file has no information -- I can't delete it. If I
try to remove it as a file, the error message says it is a directory. If
I try to remove it as a directory, the error message says "cannot lstat
the filename". And I
can't install IceWM because of it. (See the very end of the screen I
copied and pasted below.)
I really need to install Ice, because everyone is used to using IceWM as
the default. I hope
there are no other files like the above. It's almost as if it is corrupted
somehow.
I have pasted the screen that references this file when I try to install
IceWM.
Thanks,
Rita Gibson
