      Section Title: Guided Exercise: Make Links Between Files                                                                       

      Issue description

      Description:
      In the Guided Exercise for creating hard and symbolic links, the instructions ask learners to run the ls -l command in Steps 2.1 and 2.3. However, the outputs shown in both steps include inode numbers, which appear only when using ls -li. This may confuse learners who expect the output of ls -l to match what's shown.

      Steps Affected:

      • Step 2.1: Output includes inode number (25174985) despite instruction being ls -l
      • Step 2.3: Again, output includes inode number for both files

      Suggested Fix:
      Update the outputs in Steps 2.1 and 2.3 to match the actual results of ls -l without inode numbers, or update the instructions to use ls -li if inode verification is the intent.

      Impact:
      This inconsistency can mislead learners or raise doubts about the correctness of their commands during practice.

       

      Steps to reproduce:

       

      Workaround:
