Try ls. That is the contents of your current directory. You can use cd
to change dirs. Like this...
cd /
that goes to your root directory. Then...
cd bin
that takes you to the bin directory. Again, use ls t list the contents
of the directory you are in...and ls -l gives you a more detailed list
and ls -la gives you even more detailed list even hidden files. Have fun
and buy the book UNIX FOR DUMMIES.
