Im getting:
"Can't open update file: No such file or directory"
when I enter the getprom -Update prom.bin on bash.
I copied both getprom and prom.bin using the cp command and apparently getprom is found but prom.bin is not.

I'm new to this and I'm not sure where (what directory) they were copied to, so maybe i'm not pointing correctly. The Neutronflux instructions say "send the getprom program to the desired Directory". what's the desired directory and how do I specify?

Since there is no ls on the system, you could type 'echo *' (without quotes) to see what is in a directory. Are you calling getprom like './getprom -Update prom.bin' ?

I did the echo *
response:
bin dev diag etc getprom install kernel lib lost+found mnt proc prom prom.bin sbin tmp tvbin tvlib var

I'm not using the ./getprom, just getprom, should I add ./ ?

Just learning linux,
Thanks

Interesting choice of location for those files. Yes. Nix does not assume the current folder unless you add . to your PATH, so everything not in PATH must be called with a full path.

ex: ./getprom [parameters]
