Very Computer

I just updated my Caldera 1.1 Base to 1.3.  The update failed so I did a
clear installation.  Everything went smooth with no errors noted.
However, I noticed that when I do the something of the following I get
strange results.

If I do an 'ls' or 'ls -l' on a any or all files, I can see them.  If I
do a group search like 'ls ppp*' from the /etc directory I get the
following results:
"chap-secrets, ip-down, ip-up, options, pap-secres"  This is only an
example.  If I try to read this files with 'cat' or 'more' I get a 'No
such file or directory'.  Then again I may be able to read one of these
files.  Trying to 'cd' to one of the groups that are identified as a
directory gets similar results.

Anybody have an idea what is going on and how to correct?  Please don't
get to linux technical on me.  I've only been on linux for about a
years.

As confusing as what you wrote above is, I'll try and
make some sense of it. I assume both cat and more work
as you do not get the 'command not found' error msg.

When you do a 'ls ppp*', it lists all the files in the
current directory starting with 'ppp' as well as _ALL_
the files in any directory starting 'ppp'. What it does
not tell you is the directory these files are in.
Therefore a cat or more on these files will return with
a 'No such file or directory' error. To cerrect this
specify the full path to the file.

After a using Linux for a year, you are no longer a novice
user. You now qualify as normal user, so it is time we
start getting technical on you ;->
