By using the ls utility I was able to see that I had three directories - bin, mail, and test. Most of these I will never need to touch, so they stay hidden, but it is a good idea to know where they are in case I do have to do something. Ok. enough of looking at the contents of a directory. Let is create a directory in our root directory and name it test. In Unixe we will do it in a couple simple punches on our keyboard.
Lets look at the steps.
I am sure that all this exertion has just got you spent. Now we can use the ls utiliy to verify that we did indeed make that directory. If there had been a problem Unix would have given us some error message. But because everything was done correctly, we received no errors, and Unix did just what we asked it to. Now that we have a directory, we need to move our operations into it.
