Answers to the questions in Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours?

A reader writes:
I've just bought your Teach Yourself Unix in 24 hours, and I have to tell you that I love the book. I always answer the questions at the end of each chapter without knowing whether I get it right or wrong. Do you provide solutions to those answer questions?
Dave's Answer: First off, Thanks! It's always nice to hear from an enthused reader!

Now, in terms of answers to the questions, you're not the first to ask if there's a teachers guide or other publication, and the answer is that at this juncture there isn't.

Let me ask you this, instead: if I produced a $5 ebook that was an answer key and study guide, would you be sufficiently interested in getting all the answers to buy it?

I think it'd take some while to answer all the questions in a clear and coherent fashion. On the other hand, if there are specific questions from the book whose answer you seek, then do attach them as comments to this thread and I'll do my best to supply accurate answers here.

Sounds like you have the wrong device driver for your hard disk and/or a bus that isn't terminated or a disk that isn't properly formatted. Try running "fsck" on your drive and see what happens?

I have something to say, now that you mention it, but ...
Starbucks coffee cup I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you for all your efforts on this Web site by buying you a cup of coffee!

I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
