[Solved] "ls" lists to many files...

In init 3 when I enter the ls command, it list every file in the folder. I need it to just list files starting with K, because I am looking for a kernel file but am not sure which file. Thanks.

ls -d k* | less

Should work fine, even paging the output.

yeah, you can use wildcard (*) in any command.

One I find useful is when I install aur packages, just pacman -U *.pkg.*
very helpful

I need to find a way out so everyone can find their way out.
