My apologies if this is a question easily found with google.. but I've done some searching, and not found anything yet. Maybe this post can make it easier for the next person.
I can cd to a directory, even if I can't see it with ls. "Irritating" is the best description for this. Particularly when installing a system from a live cd I've become used to certain file system structures that seem to just not be there anymore. Except that I can cd to it. So clearly it is. I've tried ls -a, and a number of other things. Finally I found this which helps confirm that I really am -not- smoking it. ..I'll stop this.. rant? because I'm sure this is a trivial question answerable in moments.. (..by somebody in the know..)
