  • Doesn't work. linuxchroot:command not found

  • @adam3251 Make sure you follow the final instruction and press the button for installing the scripts. If you _have_ done that, make sure that you haven't changed that setting. It's possible to rename that startup in the Linux Installer settings. PM me if you're still having troubles.

  • After I type linuxchroot do I type aptitude update?

  • @theSuperVil That's a good next step, sure. I usually use apt-get rather than aptitude, since it's better on a limited terminal like a phone.

    Btw, I recommend the app "hacker's keyboard" if you've got a large screen or a tablet. Gives you a proper keyboard with all the function keys and whatnot. Makes it way easier to work in a Unix command line environment.
