Unix1b `-- Unix1 i did " Code:
mkdir -p Unix1b/Unix1 " then i do" Code:
cd Unix1 " Code:
username@matrix:~/Unix1> mkdir street username@matrix:~/Unix1> mkdir admin username@matrix:~/Unix1> cd street username@matrix:~/Unix1/street> touch annex username@matrix:~/Unix1/street> touch building1 now here is my question, what should i do for the for the parking in street directory.... what does that " `-- parking " mean? am i even doing this right?
