In going through the installation and following the steps in the tutorial, the last instruction was to reboot.
I think it should be made clear that this is only needed if the system to be modified is the system you're currently working on. Once the USB boot disk is created, it can be used on any other system. I thought the reboot was necessary to complete the boot disk creation, which it isn't.
Just thought I'd throw that out there. Maybe add another step that says that if you want to make changes to this system, reboot; but make it clear that the process was actually finished.

the linux command line isnt working.
after running chmod +x
and then sudo
it gives the following error:
chmod +x ./tuxboot-0.6.src.tar.gz

Thanks. It's updated.

No, you did not download the correct file. tuxboot-0.6.src.tar.gz is source program. You should download the deb file:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxboot/files/0.8/Linux/
Then install it by "dpkg -i".
Or directly download
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxboot/files/0.8/Linux/tuxboot-0.8/download
then "chmod +x" it.
