Thanks Ben, This was very helpful. There are a couple of things that I had a problem with that I thought I would comment on that may help others.

On step 1, I had to install the 11-android.rules file into the /etc/udev/rules.d folder not the /dev folder.

On step 5 my ssh folder on xubuntu 10 was /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Lastly, I wondered if corkscrew is necessary. I found a site that perhaps might have been a part of your research. They however seem to bypass corkscrew. Take a look, I would like to know your thoughts on this.

Hi Ken,

Sorry for taking so long to respond to your question, the day job has been busier than usual lately.

To make a script executable, you need to run the following command:

ken@kensbox:~$chmod +x [script name]

Then to run it, you'll have to specify the file path to the script. For example:

ken@kensbox:~$/home/ken/[script name]

or

ken@kensbox:~$./[script name]
(the . represents the current directory that you're in while in the terminal)
