[Bug 325986] [NEW] learning the shell, some commands don't work

[ronojam]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

in lesson 2 of learning the shell, an example of changing directory
cd /usr/x11r6/bin                    this should take you to the bin directory.
I get: no such file or directory, I am able to do "cd /usr" and I get to the usr directory, if I do from the usr directory "cd  /x11r6" I get no such file or derectory.
also I can't do "cd / (any directories like music or videos or any of the directories) I always get: no such file or directory. If i check my disc information, I can find the usr directory, in it I can find the x11r6 directory and in that directory i fin the bin directory.
Wy does the command not able to find those directory, is my bash program missing some links?

System info: download of ubuntu 8.10 with all updates and upgrade (no change in the problem before or after the updates or upgrade, even removed and reinstalled bash.
Pentium 3 at 200 mghz.
