I did the ls */ command and it said Desktop/Nooter.img (I changed the file name to see if that would help. No.). So it sees the file on my desktop but it won't write the disk. This is really frustrating! I'm stuck. Is there some other way to do this step? Hello,

I’m stuck. Is there some other way to do this step?

I'm new to this (hence the username), so I'm not sure what you're asking me to do. But I will try. 1) It says, "No such file or directory". But I checked the name three times, and that is what the name shows both underneath the icon on the desktop and when I click on "Get info" and the info opens up. I don't understand. 2) I'm not sure what those things mean, so I can't answer this. I'm starting from scratch here; trying to figure this all out, and I'm smart enough that I'm sure eventually I can, but I'm in kindergarten at the moment, so to speak. 3) Well, this is a brand new computer, so I don't know what problems could exist, but I can't imagine it ought to have any at this point. Thanks for your help. Any further suggestions would be additionally helpful. I've read/heard somewhere that this is harder on Mac, so maybe I should load Windows XP on this machine and try it that way. I hadn't bothered yet, but perhaps it would make things easier? I have heard that Linux is the most straightforward of the three for rooting but I know nothing of Linux at this point so I doubt it would help me to try it on a system I don't know. For now, I'm going to delete the file, download it again and start over, see what happens. Derek,

(ie. /path/to/filename OR ./filename) 2) Do other utilities acknowledge the file? What happens when using 'ls', 'less', or 'grep' on the file? 3) The only other time I've seen that sort of error message is when there is a problem with the utility not being compiled properly (this was in an embedded system running Linux that I was working with, I sorta doubt this is your problem).

It tells me there is no such file or directory. What am I doing wrong? Help me out please.
