problem to see the "filesystem"
 

I signed up this week with a webhost for a un-managed dedicated server, installed with red hat linux 9.0. When I log in via shell access (as root) I see only 3 directories. (anaconda-ks.cfg install.log install.log.syslog) I ask for support and this was the reply :

When you login with ssh you start in the home directory of the user you logged
in as, so you're landing in /root if you login as root. In order to see the rest
of the filesystem, you need to change to the / filesystem. Then you'll see the
other directories.

I don't understand "change to the filesystem" . Can somebody tell me more ?
I have read for days all the docs and forums but unable to find. please help.

they mean you have to:

cd /

to get out of root's home directory (/root)

cd changes directory
/ is the topmost directory on the system (like c:/ but less crapy and windows smelling) and linux 9.0 isn't a distro Please say Red hat 9.0 or no one will no what you mean. there are lots of 9.0s

slackware 9.0
mandrake 9.0
debian 9.0 :D
suse 9.0
