 God, man, get a book! Im sorry if that sounds rude, but why in the world
 are you trying to use Linux if you wont put even the smallest effort
 into it?
 Yahoo search on 'DOS to Linux Primer' yields about 2580 matches.

 Oh gee THAT was HELPFUL -- NOTTT!!!
 
 How about giving the guy some USEFUL info
 
 
 Such as---
 
 
 To change directories, type cd /bin 
 and that will place you in the directory /bin
 one down from root level.
 
 To go to the directory /usr type cd /usr
 and you will be in it. 
 
 Then if you want to be in /usr/local you can
 do it two ways:
 
 type cd local 
 or type cd /usr/local
 
 Note that the first one is assuming you
 are already inside the /usr directory.
 
 And from anyplace on the filesystem to
 simply go back home, type
 
 cd
 
 and whatever user you are logged in as,
 you will go to that home directory such as
 /home/user1
 
 (assuming it is a valid directory and user on the system)
