A guide to the puzzle follows.

Spoiler below!

Step 1: Go to the pathos-2 console.
Step 2: Type "login ireed yuLRzzz".
Step 3: Type "cd .." (goes to the root directory, if necessary).
Step 4: Type "cd pk1".
Step 5: Type "run pd".

Now you'll get something that looks like this.

The goal is to connect the pipe on the left with the pipe on the right, by placing tiles. (Like in this image.)

There are seven tile types: L (a bottom-left corner tile), F (a top-left corner tile), J (a bottom-right corner tile), 7 (a top-right corner tile), X (a plus-sign tile, used as a "wildcard"), - (a horizontal line), and I (a vertical line). Note that the keyboard symbols resemble the pieces.

Possible commands:
"a [x-coordinate] [y-coordinate] [TILE TYPE]" adds a tile, e.g. "a 1 1 X" adds a plus-sign tile to the top-left corner of the map. You could also use "p 1 1 X" (p stands for place).
"r [x-coordinate] [y-coordinate]" removes a tile, e.g. "r 1 1" removes the tile at the top-left corner of the map. You could also use "t 1 1" (t stands for take).
"i" displays your inventory of tiles. For example, if you get the following message: "L: 2 / F: 1 / J: 1 / 7: 3 / X: 0 / -: 1 / I: 1", then you have two L-tiles, 1 F-tile, 1 J-tile, three 7-tiles, no X-tiles, one horizontal tile, and one vertical tile.
"c" clears the board.

Finally, remember that you must place the pieces in order, from left to right.
