You should start by reading the materials that were issued to you by your school. You should make sure to understand those materials. You should then draw conclusions based on the statements in those materials, and apply those conclusions to the problem that you were assigned. You should continue doing this until the problem is solved.
If, at some point in this process, you should have an actual specific problem - rather than a generalized wail of "do this for me" - then we would be glad to hear from you, and possibly help you to resolve it.
We don't do people's homework for them. To draw the distinction that EST people used to make, we don't help anyone here (which, in their parlance, implies that people are helpless) - we assist people with real, Linux-related problems. Feel free to stop by when you actually have one; until then, I suggest you do your best with the materials you have.
