If I were your instructor reading this, you would not be on my "good" list.
What is the class and why are you there?
Are you in school to learn---or to simply get a diploma?
After you get your diploma, will you be paying people to do your work assignments?

Read the rules you agreed to when you signed up!
You have broken a few of them, and your thread will be closed.
And I for one have no respect for someone who isn't willing
to do their work.

Don't people understand im not here for someone to do the work for me? I just want some help/guidance

Stevie Baby,

I'm giving you all the help/guidance you can handle at your age!

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

OH is that right? and what age would that be smart guy?

21 ... acting like 5

How is it acting like 5 when im asking for help? is everyone on this forum this big of a douchebag?

Closed. It's just a flame war, not worth to continue.

To the orginal poster: the tasks use basic Unix/Linux commands: mkdir, touch, chown, chmod and so on. Every Unix/Linux beginner book will cover them all. Also, the combination of apropos and man commands should give you enough (often too much) details.

Edit (to other posters from this thread): if you think that a post breaks LQ rules just report it and move along. There's no reason to get into arguments.
