TurboNet going...now what ?

Posted by: MrCoolDu4

If ever there was a newbie....it would be me. I have a SAT T60 and I have upgraded the drive and I know computers well enough, but Linux may as well be Latin. I can follow directions and type in commands that I have no idea about and thats how I've done it so far. I would like to utilize some of the other features such as transferring files to my PC and TivoWeb, Etc. I have the Steve Jenkins networking guide and I follow the directions and boot with the Linux disk and when I try 1s -1 the reply is that 1s is not found. Anyone know why ? Or another way to go about this ? I have read thru these threads and I am going to continue to do so, just may need a hand now and then is all. Okay. I guess that says it all.
Thanks

Yep.

That should be ls -l not 1s -1. That is LS -L (but in lower case - Linux is case sensitive)

This of course pre-supposes that you have already installed the ls binary (executable file) - which is not part of the TiVo software - in an a directory which is in your TiVo's path.

Normally, you would load such files into a directory like /var/hack/tivo-bin but this won't automatically be in the path.

You can find out what your path is buy typing:

echo $PATH<ENTER>

at the bash prompt, where <ENTER> is the return key.

To append the binary directory where you have ls installed, assuming it's in the default directory, you can type this at a bash prompt:

export PATH=$PATH:/var/hack/tivo-bin<ENTER>

If you don't want to do this every time you connect to your TiVo, then re read Steve Jenkins guide, and look for setting up profile

HTH,

Merry Christmas....

Duh....Boy do I feel stupid. L instead of 1. Got it. Thanks for taking the time to help me out and hopefully I'll do better on my next attempt. I've also stumbled on PTVupgrade.com and they look like they have some good tools that may be easier for a simple man like myself. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
