I love all the comments.

But I have no idea what I can do after I login.

Anyone know a place I could read up on this version, or provide a small description of its capabilities and limitations compared to modern Linux?




Explore the file system via chdir and ls (or ls -l), see what programs there are under /bin. Compile a C program (e.g. from ken's home directory) with cc and run it. Read the v6 man pages: https://man.cat-v.org/unix-6th/ Learn ed and write your own C program.


It even lacks man pages btw


I don't know why the man command is missing, because the pages themselves are there under /usr/man.


You can use roff to show the manpages.

e.g. roff -Tman who.1


Cool-- thanks :)


OK -- thanks:)
