1. Log on to Unix if necessary.

2. Create new directories named exercise and text as subdirectories 

to your home directory.

3. Change working directories to the exercise directory, then create 

a directory named chap2 below it.

4. Return to your home directory; show a long list of its contents; 

copy a file from it to the last directory you created 

($HOME/exercise/chap2)

5. Copy two different files from your home directory to the text 

directory.

6. Change directories to the text directory and create a file named 

year.1900 in it, using the calendar of the year 1900.  Then copy 

that file to the chap2 directory.

7. Change the name of the text directory to machine.

8. Return to your home directory.  Then remove all the files in the 

$HOME/exercise/chap2 directory, and the directory itself.


If it doesn't work:

A. Be sure you use mkdir, cd or rm (rmdir) as the commands to 
make, change to, or remove directories.  Remember to use the 
paths beginning at $HOME, if you aren't in the direct path of the 
directory that you are trying to affect.  

B. Remember to use the correct path name before any file 
reference that is not in the current working directory.
