RE: [Thinstation-general] custom iso

[Mike E. <km...@ma...>]

In Linux - unlike windows/dos - your current directory isn't in the path. 
Therefore, to execute a local file, you need to have a ./ as prefix:

"./build" executes the build file in the current directory.
"build" execute a build found somewhere in the path.

You need "./build" :-)
