ok so i need to badly know what the first line represents when you type ls -al in liunux it will say somehtign liek total 40 then list all the directories what does that total stand for size? amount of files? im so confused and class startes soon help!!!
Linux has help for most of the commands. Type man ls and you should get the manual page for it. a is all files l means show long (verbose listing)
lol thanks xian for trying but liek i already know about help files and man files and all that its just the total i didnt understand but i think i figured it out the total was all the files including directory files that were over 1 kg in size
