-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Mark A. Hummel Sent: Friday, May 26, 2000 11:25 PM To: freebsd-questions Subject: Why can't I cd to certain directories??? Greetings, Sometimes when I try to cd to a directory like /usr/local/... I get an error message reading: Can't cd to ... I then try to cd one level down at a time. #cd /usr then pwd to find out I actually made the trip. Then cd /local Sorry, can't cd to /usr/local. Why when I'm logged in as a su? If you are entering a command like #cd /local you are specifying a directory /local. Chances are this directory does not exist. If you are trying to get to /usr/local one step at a time you can do: #cd /usr #cd local If you start a cd command with a / you are specifying that the directory you are looking for is off of root. More newbie questions coming.
