[QUOTE="wallycharlo, post: 76942, member: 186024"] A windows editor could easily mess the file up, from a linux perspective....ie, it could fill it with carriage returns which look like ^M at the end of each line. so, instead of , say for example, a line of the file looking like..... This is a line in the file ..it will look like.... This is a line in the file^M ..when a linux system looks at it. An very easy way around thus is to not care about it at all, and then just use the dos2unix command when logged into the dreambox. Any image worth its salt should have this command IMHO. So, do what you wish with the file, and then just type >dos2unix <filename> ..when logged into the DB. You can look at the file before and after too insure it worked :-) ... if your image does not have the dos2unix command then you will need something like cgywin [/QUOTE]
