Adds all 6 ROOT 01 modules (how computers run software, the shell, filesystem navigation, files & text, processes, users & permissions foundations), each with a real lesson, demonstration/guided exercise, knowledge check where warranted, a hands-on Lab, and a reflection — 35 activities, 29 new content files. Adds 6 new hands-on Linux scenarios (linux-inspect-hardware, linux-shell-basics, linux-filesystem-navigation, linux-files-and-text, linux-process-management, linux-permissions-foundations) plus 2 MCQ scenarios, using the existing generic scenario/ validation engine (docs/ROOT_FOUNDATIONS_LAB_STRATEGY.md §1) — every one tested end-to-end via the real scenario setup/validate API, including negative tests confirming they correctly FAIL when not actually solved (e.g. the process-management scenario fails while the target process is still running; the permissions scenario is tested against a real `su - labuser` denial). Wires rootnode-linux-foundations-assessment (2 required + 4 random-draw scenarios) using the existing Phase 3B assessment engine. Adds a real, server-side ROOT 01->02->03->04->05 course prerequisite chain (courses.prerequisites) — verified live on two students: one who completed ROOT 01 sees ROOT 02 unlock; a fresh student sees ROOT 02 correctly locked while 03/04/05 stay vacuously satisfied (their own prerequisite courses are still empty). ROOT 06+ and the Capstone are unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>

# Knowledge Check: Navigating the Filesystem
|

|
|
|
**1. What does `..` mean in a path?**
|
|
|
|
*Answer:* One directory up from your current location.
|
|

|
|
|
|
**2. You're at `/home/student/project`. Does `cd project` do the same thing here as it did at
|
|
`/home/student`?**
|
|
|
|
*Answer:* No — a relative path is re-evaluated from your CURRENT location every time. At
|
|
`/home/student`, `project` refers to `/home/student/project`; from inside that same directory,
|
|
`project` would refer to `/home/student/project/project`, which likely doesn't exist.
|

|
|
**3. A file is "hidden" from a normal `ls`. What actually makes it hidden?**
|
|
|
|
*Answer:* Its name starts with a `.` — it's purely a naming convention `ls` respects by
|
|
default, not a real permission or security feature. `ls -a` shows it.
|
|

|
|
**4. Where would you expect to find a running system's log files?**
|
|
|
|
*Answer:* `/var/log` — `/var` holds data that changes while the system runs.

## Instructor Notes
|
|
|
|
**Facilitation:** Question 2 is the one worth confirming out loud — it's the core "gotcha" of
|
|
relative paths.
|
|
|
|
**Approximate timing:** 5 minutes.
