What to Study for the First Unix Test
=====================================
-IAN! idallen@ncf.ca

The First Unix Test takes place in the last hour of your Lab period in
Week 4 of the course.  (See the Course Outline.)

The test is 50 minutes long.  It is worth 5% of your term mark.

It covers Chapters 1-3 in the Linux text.

It also covers web page "Notes" files week1.txt and week2.txt and the
chapter notes files and Floppix labs mentioned in those weekly files.

What you must bring to the test:

 1. You will need your Floppix diskettes (and your backup copies).
    You must know how to boot Floppix with DHCP enabled.

 2. You will need a pencil to write in answers to multiple-choice questions.

 3. Your name and EMail must be registered with me before the test, using
    the registration form on the course web page.

You will work on both Floppix and on ACADAIX.  You will save time if you
know how to use telnet on Floppix to get to ACADAIX, instead of having
to reboot into Windows to use telnet and then reboot back into Floppix.

Knowing how to switch among the three Floppix consoles will also save
you time.

The test is open-book, open-note, and open-terminal.  You may use any
online or written resources available to you; but, you may not consult
with or communicate with anyone except the instructor in any way.

Answers will be written down on paper.  There is no electronic logging
or uploading required in this first Unix test.

Some questions will be multiple-choice; some will be short-answer.
Some questions will require you to execute commands on Floppix and/or
ACADAIX.

You will not have enough time to try every multiple-choice question on the
computer or to look up all the terms in the textbook.

Most of the questions can be answered quickly from the knowledge you
have acquired in lectures and by doing the weekly readings and homework
material.
