Hello Firas, After a number of frustrated blind sideroads, I finally succeeded to run your your command. It worked fine apparently) but at the last line: sudo martian_modem I get a repply "command not found". I tried different ways but got the same answer, and did not start the daemon. So I am stuck and needs your help. Note: 1./ I have noticed during the run several times the a message saying something that missing/not run etc, but was running fast, so I wasn't able to write it down. 2./ I have now a directory:MODEM. his has the 2 original files (bz2 and gz) and 2 subdirectories: MARTIAN and TMP. MARTIAN has 9 files/subdirectories. TMP has one subdirectory: MARTIAN which contains the same files/directories as the other MARTIAN. It appears therefore that I created a directory MARTIAN, but did not delete the TMP.
