Play by Play Install
I'm trying to install this wireless driver and not getting very far. I need a fairly detailed step by step instruction. See the attached .pdf.
I get to to step one and open a shell and type ./install.sh and I get a error. Do I need to switch to a specific directory or what, I don't know what to do.
Could somebody spell this out for me?
I am installing a wireless driver on a ARM 10 Cubieboard. I am running
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cubie_Board
I've got the OS installed and running nicely. Its just the driver that's giving me trouble.
Newbie in panic mode!!! Any help would be appreciated?

"I get a eror" isn't as useful as posting the actual error message. If you could please post the error in its full text then we're in a much better position to help.

Code:
cd /home/your/file/spot
