ragger's newbie again: to make a file executable

12 Aug 2003

      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. :-)
