I posted this to both lists since it seems that the newbies list is not
getting much readership. I am trying to get my Backpack CD burner working
under Xandros. The HOWTO says that I need to run the following script:
#!/bin/bash
#
# mkd -- a script to create the device special files for the PARIDE
subsystem
#
function mkdev {
mknod $1 $2 $3 $4 ; chmod 0660 $1 ; chown root:disk $1
}
#
function pd {
D=$( printf \\$( printf "x%03x" $[ $1 + 97 ] ) )
mkdev pd$D b 45 $[ $1 * 16 ]
for P in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
do mkdev pd$D$P b 45 $[ $1 * 16 + $P ]
done
}
#
cd /dev
#
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do pd $u ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev pcd$u b 46 $u ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev pf$u b 47 $u ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev pt$u c 96 $u ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev npt$u c 96 $[ $u + 128 ] ; done
for u in 0 1 2 3 ; do mkdev pg$u c 97 $u ; done
#
# end of mkd
a
I saved the above to a file that I called mkd. I am logged in as root in the
directory where mkd is saved. When I type "mkd", I get "bash: mkd: command
not found" Do I need some kind of extension on the file name to get the os
to execute the script? I didn't think that was required. Any help will be
appreciated.
