    Installing TivoWebPlus help please

    Hello I am trying to install TivoWebPlus.

    I am following the guide from here

    http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/vie...eToTiVoWebPlus

    I did step one, and step 2 (presumably in hyperterminal) but it says it cannot find the file or directory.

    So I manually extracted the files from tivowebplus-oztivo-060513.tgz to a folder (TivoWebPlus) and ftp'd them in var/hack/TivoWebPlus

    Seemed to work ok, I then had problems editing the "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author" It said read only file system (I am using flashfxp).

    Any ideas please?

    TiVo filesystem is set to read only (RO) mode. You need to type in at a bash prompt RW to set it to read/write mode for it to work.

    Ok I will give that a try.

    What about the problem I was having in hyperterminal when typing "tar xvfz tivowebplus-oztivo-060513.tgz". what should I type, and where should the file be located?

    Thanks.

    You need to transfer the 'tgz' file into /var/hack, or give a full path to the file.

    For example, you could ftp the file to /var/hack and then
    # cd /var/hack
    # tar xvfz tivoweb-oztivo-*.tgz

    Or you could ftp the file to /tmp and then:
    # cd /var/hack
    # tar xvfz /tmp/tivowebplus-oztivo-*.tgz
