Re: Classic Gnubie accident

What's the result of "df -h"?

I'm using 94% of the disk. I have deleted some stuff.

I tried

chmod -R 775 /home/anthony

and this allowed me to access files in my directory and some of my personal
settings e.g. pal (calendar) I could start X but not fluxbox. What should
the permissions be for all the settings (invisible) files in my home
directory?

I have set up another user so I don't have to keep booting between
partitions to use the net, but this user is somewhat disabled too e.g. no
audio

other strange symptoms are that in a terminal as root after having logged in
as the new user I cannot use cp ??

thinking:/home/anthony/film# cp /home/anthony/.bbkeysrc /home/thinker/
bash: cp: command not found

looks like I need a big clean up, probably re-install etch eventually,
however I'd like to get my user (anthony) and my settings back in the
meantime. so, what should the permissions be for all the settings
(invisible) files in my home directory /anthony/home ?

Or maybe you have a disk quota and it has run out.
