how to install scripts? noobie question?
hello,
i'm trying to understand x-terminal and i want to cleanup my rootfs memory with help of the wiki on the site: http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space in this wiki they say: This script will move some unnecessary files on rootfs to /home/opt/ to free up space on rootfs. First, create a file, move-to-opt.sh for example, containing this script: But with what program do i create this file? i tried it in notes and then saved it under .sh but it was still a note and offcourse it didnt work in x-terminal? can someone please help me understeand scripts? |

you could even just use the editor or wordpad but the syntax highlighting is very comfortable. :) (especially if you want to understand what the script is doing and how it is doing) copy&paste it. save it with .sh extension. copy it on your n900. open xterm. get root rights (install rootsh and type "sudo gainroot") make it executable with "chmod +x bla.sh" and then just run it with ". bla.sh" or "sh bla.sh". BUT: please be aware... if you don't know what the script is doing exactly.. it could lead to some problems... if not right now - then maybe in the futuere (next update or so) |
