[drats_users] Asus Eeee PC dRats install

Dan,

Well, some of this helps a little.

>How about this... Do the following and send me the list.txt file:

I did this, and the list appeared in the file, which I have attached to this
posting.

Oh, right, you are. I was trying to get it all running on the SD card, as
there is very limited memory on the PC itself. However, to see if that was
the case, I tried what you suggested about moving it to the root/user/ on
the main memory.

>  Cd /home/user/d-rats-0.2.6
 >  ./d-rats
 
Which I did try, and....

>If you still get a permission denied error, you might want to do this:
 
>   chmod a+x ./d-rats
 
......yes, I did get the permission denied error. I did the chmod, and it
then worked!

Which resulted in the following (I still could not get this to pipe to a
file):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./d-rats", line 21 un ?
     from d_rats import mainapp, platform
  File "home/user/d-rats-0.2.6/d_rats/mainapp.py", line 27, in ?
     import serial
ImportError: No module named serial

I did go back to the SD card and tried to change the permissions to allow me
to run d-rats there, and it said I did not own the file to be able to change
permissions. Really not a big deal, since it looks like I should be fine
with the application on the main memory.

That was one of the reasons I got the little pc...I wanted to become more
literate in Linux., so I do appreciate your efforts.
