If either of the files dot or dot-dot are specified as the basename portion of an operand (that is, the final pathname component), rm shall write a diagnostic message to standard error and do nothing more with such operands.

Hello, when I boot the choices the choices are 2008 spring, 2.6.24.4-lmnb, 2.6.24.7-lmnb. desktop586-2.6.24.7 is not a choice available. I thought I had booted that prior? I have not deleted anything as of yet. Thanks.

Hello Ian, that post was not very consise. I was trying to match the dir structure of the example I have been following, http://linuxfornewbies.org/forum/index.php/topic,3.0.html, to my dir structure.
