Describe the Issue

The lesson is missing the 24 images included in its original transcript.

Lesson file: curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/lecture-working-with-file-systems/672ac3c5d0e9fd31835ff772.md.

The images are being added in https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/cdn/pull/407 and need to be available on the CDN first. This is blocked by https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/cdn/pull/407.

The current lesson combines or rewords some passages from the transcript and omits some image-specific sentences. The quotations below describe the original placements, including the original wording. They do not prescribe placement in the current lesson or changes to its wording. The contributor can choose suitable placements and write descriptive alt text.
