Guys, I will really appreciate your help if you can help me get the answers to the following questions:

1. Indicate which of the following paths are full or relative
a. /root/
b. ../root/
c. /usr/../root
d. /home/david/

2. Assuming you are currently in the /home/david/tmp/ directory write the full path of your final location if you perform the following commands
a. cd ../85321/
b. cd /usr/lib
c. cd ~/85321

What are the best answers to the following questions:

a. Where would you find the home directory for the root user?
b. Where would you store some temporary files?
c. Where do you normally find the home directories of "normal" users?

4. Assuming you were currently in the directory containing the boot configuration files, how would you change into the directory containing the system configuration files and scripts?

Thank you guys

To: speck

I'm not going to school, so this is not a homework. I'm just reading a book that doesn't have answers, and I just want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing. + my goal is to learn and if I can get help, I will ask for help

Anytime MelLinux, and welcome to Linux Questions.....

4. Since normally the boot scripts are in /boot, and the configure files are in /etc you would:
cd /etc
from any directory, so the beginning part of the question is irrelevant.

c. cd ~/85321 dont knw
~ represents $HOME directory ie in this case the answer is $HOME/85321 where $HOME is your home directory

thanks for the answer....
