Making directories with subdirectories (note, the $ is the prompt. DON'T TYPE IT IN!): $ mkdir a a/b a/b/c This will create directory a, directory b under a, and directory c under a/b. 2. Listing files without color schemes. This happens because the 'ls' command is an alias for the real 'ls' command. Do this: $ unalias ls Now, the 'ls' command will not display the colors. I agree, it is sometimes uninformative, or distracting. However, it does help to find soft links that have lost their target (blinking red). I usually prefer the command: ls -aFC which will show directories with a terminating / and hidden files that start with a dot. Sometimes real fast is almost as good as real time.

I learned all the command-line stuff way back in Unix's early middle-ages (my first Unix box was back in the early 80's), and as I recall I don't think there was a -p option to mkdir. Maybe I should update my knowledge base? :-) Sometimes real fast is almost as good as real time. Remember, Google is your friend!
