-<p>Linux aims to the most Unix-like it can be. Traditionally, Unix operating systems have
-been command-line oriented. We do have a graphical user interface in Slackware, but the
-command-line is still the main level of control for the system. Therefore, it is
-important to understand some of the basic file management commands.</p>
-
-<p>The following sections explain the common file management commands and provide
-examples of how they are used. There are many other commands, but these will help you get
-started. Also, the commands are only briefly discussed here. You will find more detail in
-the accompanying man pages for each command.</p>
-
-<div class="SECT1">
-<h1 class="SECT1"><a id="FILE-COMMANDS-NAVIGATION" name="FILE-COMMANDS-NAVIGATION">10.1
-Navigation : <tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">cd</tt>, and <tt
-class="COMMAND">pwd</tt></a></h1>
-
-<div class="SECT2">
-<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN3398" name="AEN3398">10.1.1 <tt
-class="COMMAND">ls</tt></a></h2>
-
-<p>This command lists files in a directory. Windows and DOS users will notice its
-similarity to the <tt class="COMMAND">dir</tt> command. By itself, <tt
-class="COMMAND">ls</tt>(1) will list the files in the current directory. To see what's in
-your root directory, you could issue these commands:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd /</kbd>
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls</kbd>
-bin cdr dev home lost+found proc sbin tmp var
-boot cdrom etc lib mnt root suncd usr vmlinuz
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>The problem a lot of people have with that output is that you cannot easily tell what
-is a directory and what is a file. Some users prefer that <tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt> add
-a type identifier to each listing, like this:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls -FC</kbd>
-bin/ cdr/ dev/ home/ lost+found/ proc/ sbin/ tmp/ var/
-boot/ cdrom/ etc/ lib/ mnt/ root/ suncd/ usr/ vmlinuz
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>Directories get a slash at the end of the name, executable files get an asterisk at
-the end of the name, and so on.</p>
-
-<p><tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt> can also be used to get other statistics on files. For
-example, to see the creation dates, owners, and permissions, you would look at a long
-listing:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls -l</kbd>

-<p>Suppose you want to get a listing of the hidden files in the current directory. This
-command will do just that:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls -a</kbd>
-. bin cdrom home mnt sbin usr
-.. boot dev lib proc suncd var
-.pwrchute_tmp cdr etc lost+found root tmp vmlinuz
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>Files beginning with a period (called dot files) are hidden when you run <tt
-class="COMMAND">ls</tt>. You will only see them if you pass the <var
-class="OPTION">-a</var> option.</p>
-
-<p>There are many more options that can be found in the online manual page. Don't forget
-that you can combine options that you pass to <tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt>.</p>
-</div>
-
-<div class="SECT2">
-<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN3436" name="AEN3436">10.1.2 <tt
-class="COMMAND">cd</tt></a></h2>
-
-<p>The <tt class="COMMAND">cd</tt> command is used to change working directories. You
-simply type <tt class="COMMAND">cd</tt> followed by the path name to change to. Here are
-some examples:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-darkstar:~$ <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd /bin</kbd>
-darkstar:/bin$ <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd usr</kbd>
-bash: cd: usr: No such file or directory
-darkstar:/bin$ <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd /usr</kbd>
-darkstar:/usr$ <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls</kbd>
-bin
-darkstar:/usr$ <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd bin</kbd>
-darkstar:/usr/bin$
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>Notice that without the preceding slash, it tries to change to a directory in the
-current directory. Also executing <tt class="COMMAND">cd</tt> with no options will move
-you to your home directory.</p>
-
-<p>The <tt class="COMMAND">cd</tt> command is not like the other commands. It is a
-builtin shell command. Shell builtins are discussed in <a
-href="shell-bash.html#SHELL-BASH-ENVIRONMENT">Section 8.3.1</a>. This may not make any
-sense to you right now. Basically it means there is no man page for this command.
-Instead, you have to use the shell help. Like this:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">help cd</kbd>
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>It will display the options for <tt class="COMMAND">cd</tt> and how to use them.</p>
-</div>
-
-<div class="SECT2">
-<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN3463" name="AEN3463">10.1.3 <tt
-class="COMMAND">pwd</tt></a></h2>
-
-<p>The <tt class="COMMAND">pwd</tt> command is used to show your current location. To use
-the <tt class="COMMAND">pwd</tt> command just type <tt class="COMMAND">pwd</tt>. For
-example:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd /bin</kbd>

-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd /usr</kbd>
