Help completing lab.
Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Quote:
1. Start a command-line session with matrix.
2. Working from your
home directory create a directory named lab2b (use all lowercase letters)
3. Copy the Acceptable-Use-Policy file that resides in your home directory to your lab2b directory
4. Make lab2b your present working directory
5. Without changing working directories, list the contents of your home directory. Be sure that hidden files are also listed
6. Change directories to your home directory using the fewest possible keystrokes.
7. While in your home directory, create another directory called Labs (note that the "L" in "Labs" is uppercase).
8. Move your lab2b directory (including its contents) into Labs.
9. Use the tree command to verify the layout of your Labs directory. Your Lab directory structure should now look like this:
~
|
--------
|
Labs
|
-------
|
lab2b
|
-----
|
Acceptable-Use-Policy
Draw the above directory tree on a separate sheet of paper and keep updating it as you complete the following commands
Note: If the tree command output looks different, check your work for previous steps and redo them as needed.
10. Make lab2b your working directory
11. Working from lab2b, use the cat command to view the contents of the file called Acceptable-Use-Policy
12. Repeat the previous question using the more command. What did you notice that was different? Write down your observations.
13. Copy the /etc/group file to your present working directory (lab2b)
Note: under certain circumstances you may not be able to access the above file. In such case, use /home/uli101/group instead, noting the difference on your paper.

debconf-mergetemplate
DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1) Debconf DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1)
NAME
debconf-mergetemplate - merge together multiple debconf template files
SYNOPSIS
debconf-mergetemplate [options] [templates.ll ...] templates
DESCRIPTION
Note: This utility is deprecated. You should switch to using po-debconf's po2debconf program.
This program is useful if you have multiple debconf templates files which you want to merge together into one big file. All the specified
files will be read in, merged, and output to standard output.
This can be especially useful if you are dealing with translated template files. In this case, you might have your main template file, plus
several other files provided by the translators. These files will have translated fields in them, and maybe the translators left in the
english versions of the fields they translated, for their reference.
So, you want to merge together all the translated templates files with your main templates file. Any fields that are unique to the
translated files need to be added in to the correct templates, but any fields they have in common should be superseded by the fields in the
main file (which might be more up-to-date).
This program handles that case properly, just list each of the translated templates files, and then your main templates file last.
OPTIONS
--outdated
Merge in even outdated translations. The default is to drop them with a warning message.
--drop-old-templates
If a translation has an entire template that is not in the master file (and thus is probably an old template), drop that entire
template.
