Hi there!

I'm currently running GalliumOS 2.0 (linux) and patching for Kobo Glo HD.

In # 4 of instructions for patching it says "For Linux/Mac open a terminal, change to the patch_kobo_3195761/ subdirectory, and run ./3.19.5761.sh from the command line."

I'm rather new to linux so I could use some help with this.

How do I "change to the patch_kobo_3195761/ subdirectory" in terminal? Can I just drag and drop the .sh file into the terminal?

Also, how do I run the .sh file in the command line? Once I drag and drop it into the terminal, do I just hit enter, or do I have to add something to the command?

(UPDATE): I drag and dropped the .sh file into Xfce, and hit enter, which resulted in several lines of text in mousepad that ended with:

echo "Creating KoboRoot.tgz ..."
rm -rf $TARGET_DIR
mkdir -p $TARGET_DIR
tar cvzf $TARGET_DIR/KoboRoot.tgz --directory=$NEW $FILES_TO_PATCH

It seems the KoboRoot.tgz was created, however, I cannot find the 3.19.5761_target/ subdirectory that contains the new .tgz file.

Do I have to save this in mousepad in order to create the tgz file? If it was already created, where was it created...how do I locate it?

Thanks :-)
