In lab one, you have successfully installed SMX, and already have feelings about it. In this lab session, you are expected to get familiar with the commonly used Unix commands, and get to know how to compile programs in minix. That is, you are expected to finish two tasks:
For the first task: the commonly used unix commands like ls, cp, mv, mkdir, rm, passwd, ps, etc. Also you need to practice certain administrative tasks: add/delete user, etc. Notice that I am not going to cover the advanced topics such as shell programming.
For the second task: you should start practice writing programs in SMX by small and simple programs like HelloWorld.c and see how it works. The purpose of it is just to help you have a general understanding of how to set up the environment, how to write programs in smx, how to compile it, and how to run it.
After this lab session, you should be familiar with the smx environment, and will be prepared to write larger programs.
