If you do a man on cd....
It's a manual command built into most of the commands.. you get alot of info on switches/ format

% man cd

Use the space bar to drop down each page.

In Unix it's object oriented.

This means that a directory is an object just as a HDD.

To get some understanding you can experiment in Windows XP making a new partition and not giving it a drive letter but attach it to a folder(directory).

This is like Unix: you 'mount' - hang it to a tree - a partition (or any other object: printers, scanners, whatever).

Try 'df -k' in Unix. And try the 'format' command.
Be carefull with the latter: format > ??driveletter > partition > print will possibly give some more understanding.

(To get out of the format utility) u can use 'q' followed by an 'enter'.
