/ now what?

Hey.

My first post :)

I have moved up one directory at a time, now I am in /

I have tried using:

1. cd etc/
2. cd /etc/
3. cd /ETC

Could someone please PM me?

exact same situation im in,

any help apprisiated (sp)

its really strange because I have got to / but why can't i move anywhere else?

your changing directory to etc

if you have the / in there try it without

then reading a file, not moving to it.

can someone please pm me with help?

i know about cat and how to move up one dir.

i have got to /

but when doing

cat /etc/password file name it kicks me out

@Touchski - im in the same position, after 30+ trys and being disconneced after each one i started to look for help lol

hmmm, your going 1 place and reading 1:

so:

your moving directory to etc

when your in etc your reading the other file

same with me.. its annoying having to go through each step. but thankfully pressing up and down come in handy XD

Type cd followed by the name of a directory to access that directory. Keep in mind that you are always in a directory and allowed access to any directories hierarchically above or below. Ex: cd games.

taken from a linux help site…..

so who wants to explain why 'cd ect' dosnt work when im in the '/' directory?

your very close. remember this is simulated and there is a strict way you have to do everything. try cd dir instead of dir/ or /dir/ if you know what i mean.

WOOOHOOO!!! I DID IT!! Thanks to everyone! Its not quite right how its done, but it does make it easier in a way!
