You will not need a very in-depth knowledge.
- Directory path separator:
MS Dos: '\'
*nix: '/'
- Root (top level) of the file system:
MS Dos: 'Drive:' (Per drive)
*nix: / (there is only one of them)
- Change current directory:
MS Dos: cd wherever
*nix: cd wherever
- List contents of current directory:
MS Dos: dir
*nix: ls (that is ell s)
- Run a script (I.E: batch) file:
Win/MS Dos: cmd filename (IIRC)
*nix: sh filename
There, that should get you enough info to jb the device.
When you are logged in as the administrator (you will be, admin's name is: 'root') the command line prompt will tell you that you are named 'root' and your current directory is '/'.
With the above guide, translate this (in your mind) to familar terms:
cd /mnt/us
sh jb.sh
There, your done.
(The trick to all of this, is to get logged in as 'root' on a Kindle against the wishes of Amazon/Lab126.)
