How to...

1. backup 2 important files "/etc/passwd", "etc/shadow" into a directory "/backup"

2.save the partitions info of hard disk /dev/hda into a file "/backup/partitions.txt"

3. if the above command succeed (return zero value), append the partitions info of hard disk /dev/hdb into the same file in step 2.

4. test the network card is working or not. Issue the command "ifconfig eth0" and "grep" the line with keyword "UP". Save that single line into the file "/backup/eth0.txt"

5. save the sentence "the installation process completed at current date and time" into the file "/backup/log.txt". (current date and time should be generated on the fly with the command "date")
