Hi I have one suggestion - as noted, ghex is not an easy package to use. I have been experimenting with various packages and have found an easier package to use called 'bless'. The instructions would then read:
1. install the package 'bless' -- with the package manager, synaptic or from the terminal sudo apt-get install bless 2. load bless 3. open the 'nw' binary (file tab) 4. select find and replace (search tab) 5. search for "udev.so.0" and replace with "udev.so.1" -- set both fields to text 6. save the edited 'nw' binary and you're done. regards On Wednesday, April 9, 2014 6:08:21 PM UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Thanks Matabele, on that basis I'll leave the readme alone, > > Best wishes > > Jeremy > > > > On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 4:51 PM, Matabele <[email protected]<javascript:> > > wrote: > >> Hi >> >> The existing advice is fine -- but editing the binary with ghex is a >> little tricky.
