Problem with bash ??

[torvald]

I seem to have limited bash commands. I can't LS for sure and not sure what els is a problem. I was able to get a help listing of the commands below is the output does this look correct or am I in trouble?

*** output ***

bash-2.02# help
GNU bash, version 2.02.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
These shell commands are defined internally. Type `help' to see this list.
Type `help name' to find out more about the function `name'.
Use `info bash' to find out more about the shell in general.

A star (*) next to a name means that the command is disabled.

I bet you don't have the location of TivoTools in your PATH
It's usually /busybox or /tivo-bin

[torvald]

Ok ?? No idea how to fix that, know a DOS and have read up on Unix a little but not enough to fumble my way around in here comfortably. I don't want to mess up the box if I can avoid it.

Doing a dirs listing I only have 2 folders /var/tmp


*BTW is there a way to set a staic ip? everytime it updates it jumps ip's.

tried to find those folders no luck I can't see any folders but /var/tmp and can't find any command to list files in the folders/

I don't want to mess up the box if I can avoid it.Suggestion, read a lot more.Doing a dirs listing I only have 2 folders /var/tmpdirs only shows you the folder you are currently in.
echo *Works as a poor mans ls
