ragger's newbie again: to make a file executable
hi! i am learning how to use cdroast on mandrake 9.0. i have checked that the ide-scsi diver is indeed loaded and i can check that i have a functional burner at cd level using cdrecord -scanbus. both parts a-ok!
now, along with wlug advice from last week or so, i am using advice from this article
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid5800
and am stuck at the part that says "make file executable" using chmod and g group something
this feels really silly but i cannot figure out what is the correct file name for my file -- i use the one that is on the file as displayed in the file manager but chmod does not find it.
what am i doing wrong????
thanks folks from me here in raggers town is overcast and it is full moon, which is always dangerous on one level or another. :-)

Hmm, I think you ment http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5800 ^

You mean: chmod 700 cdrtoaster-1.12 usermod -G cdwrite username
?
The author is suggesting you do this so you can install this software from scratch.
So you download it then type "chmod 700 cdrtoaster-1.12" in the directory that "cdrtoaster-1.12" exists in.
