Hello, I am new to the terminal utility and have gotten stuck at the beginning of your article. here's what I see after typing in cd/ private/etc: Kathy-Kelers-Computer:~ kathykeler$ pwd /Users/kathykeler Kathy-Kelers-Computer:~ kathykeler$ cd/ private/etc -bash: cd/: No such file or directory Kathy-Kelers-Computer:~ kathykeler$

  First, this article is quite old and only applies to Jaguar. So, if you are using Jaguar, your issue is a simple mistyping:
  
  You want to enter the command (cd), a space, and then the path, thus:
  
  cd /private/etc
  
  and not
  
  cd/ private/etc.
  
  If you aren't using Jaguar, however, then you really should be looking at this series of articles instead:

  Hope that helps,
