Raspberry Pi Geexbox Install

[thegoat31Member]

I am following these instructions http://www.geexbox.org/geexbox-for-embedded-devices-creating-a-bootable-sd-card/ to create a bootable SD card.

When I get to the step:
sudo ./make-sdcard /dev/sdd path_to_release_file_tar.bz2
I am in the directory where I have created the “make-sdcard” executable file.
Also in the same directory is the geexbox-3.1.raspberrypi.tar.bz2 file.

Below is the output I get when trying to run the make-sdcard script.
:~/downloads$ sudo ./make-sdcard geexbox-3.1.raspberrypi.tar.bz2
/bin/sh: 0: Illegal option –

Any help here would be great to help me get this scriptto run to make my SD card bootable.

Thanks,
The Goat

I don’t see the device name of the sdcard in the command. It should read:

sudo ./make-sdcard /dev/sdd geexbox-3.1.raspberrypi.tar.bz2

In order to find out what sdd is on your system, you might want to run ‘lsblk’ before and after you attached/inserted the card and compare the output. There should be at least one additional ‘disk’ item, which refers to your sdcard.
