Hello all,
I just upgraded my SA Tivo Sony 2k with Turbonet. While everything worked great. I am having some dificulty getting some additional utilities (ls, elvis, etc) configured.
I have succesfully created /var/hack & /var/hack/bin directories using telnet and uploaded the files using FTP. I can run them through telnet with a fully qualified path. Obviously, I would like to not have to specify the path all the time, and the TERMINFO environment varaible is a pain everytime I login.
I have been reading all night and believe I am told to put a .profile in the / directory. when I try to save I get the "Read-only file system" message.
I have also tried to change settings in the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file but same problem. I even tried a chmod on /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and got the same error message.
I am at my wits end. Obviously I am a linux NooB, please help?
