    Hello, this is sort of a homework question, though its homework I
    assigned myself. I'm going through the last two chapters of a book
    which weren't covered in the class it was used in (Carolyn Z. Gillay's
    _Linux User's Guide_, if anybody cares), and I came across an activity
    I simply can't figure out the answer to.

    Here is the exact text: "Create an alias called lfdo that lists all
    the directories in only /mnt/floppy *not including* child directories,
    but does not list files. (Hint: remember egrep and piping.)

    Yes, the disk is mounted. Yes, I successfully created the alias in the
    previous assignment, which wasn't so complex. I don't think I
    understand egrep well enough to do this. Can anybody help?
