According to Your UNIX/Linux: The Ultimate Guide the command cd is supposed to change the location, but it didn't actually do anything when I entered it.

The mdkir command creates a directory so when entering mdkir apache it should've created a directory named apache, but instead a message showed up saying cannot create directory ‘apache’ : file exists.

I assume that the command cd APACHE is supposed to change your location in the program to the APACHE directory. I honestly don't know what it did, except put the word Apache after my name.

Cd apache, I don't know what this is supposed to do, when I enter it the program states, no such file or directory.

The command pwd is supposed to tell you the current directory, and it tells me home/Elizabeth/Apache I'm not really sure what this means.

Cd ../../../../../../../etc when entered just says no such file or directory.

Cd /etc is supposed to change the directory to etc, and it did replace the Apache after my nam to etc.

The cat command displays the contents of files and the passwd command to change your own password so I assume that cat passwd shows the contents of your password. This program just told me no such file or directory. And it did the same thing for the command more passwd.

I wish I could've done better on this assignment.
