All that you need to do in this assignment is a create a subdirectory "assignment1" in your home directory that has (almost) exact copies of the files in /assignments/assignment1. Here's what that directory looks like, using ls, du, and stat:

Here's what your ~/assignment1/ directory should look like (largely, of course, since the ownership will of course be shown as your username, and the inode numbers will be different):

And, of course, some of these files are not regular files, so you should make sure that this information is also preserved.
Please finish this by noon on Monday, February 4. I will be checking your work around that time.
