This book comes with version 4.2. I have recently purchased a boxed set of version 4.4 dated September 2001. Having followed the installation instructions I have found the set-up to be seamless and very easy - well done. I have come across my first 'bug' (?) however. In the book on pages 103/104 it shows how to do the command 'echo $PATH'. I get the same answer in book except that obviously the last directory in the path is for my local user, i.e. /usr/home/simon/bin. On page 104 it goes onto say that if you do the command 'cd bin' you will be switched into the local 'bin' directory. I get 'NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY'. When I 'cd' the full directory path I still get the same error message? Have I done anything wrong in the set-up? Is this a known bug? Are you able to give me manual instruction to fix this little problem?
