UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello everyoane

I folow step by step (i' new in unix) this video tutorial YouTube - rogriff's Channel to instal unix in a personal laptop, but when he go in C -> data -> downloads -> resume020807 in mi pc not exist

I attach the filles to see, thank you in advance

why should these directory and it content exist? these are files on the pc of the TEACHER... if they are not on YOUR computer, that is perfectly normal... why? you don't created it!

Ohh .., the first time i was thinking, that i need that files

Because i can not do the same exercises. For example:

a) I try to make the first exercise with:

$ cd /cygdrive/c/data/downloads

and show me that i dont have that file or directory (see the attach ex.1)

b) But i try with the next command:

$ pwd

and show a different thing (ex.2)

c) Also i try with a another command:

$ ls

and show me nothing again (ex.3)


I need to create the same folders or dont matters and i do something wrong !?

UNIX isn't magic. It won't psychically have someone else's files. You or someone would have to actually put them there in the first place. If you need them, get them. If you don't know where to get them, ask him. We don't know, they're not our files.

You're barking up the wrong tree looking for a /cygdir, too. UNIX won't psychically have that directory either, someone has to put it there. And when you get the files, you very probably don't need to put them in /cygdir, just a directory in your home dir is fine.
