Hi everyone,
 am new to Maemo.Am trying to install it on 'fedora 8'(but got stuck with some 
error messages).I am following the procedure given in  
http://scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-1.0/html/installdoc.html

 This is what I have done till now--
 1. Extracted scratchbox-core-1.0.8-i386.tar.tar to '/' (the folder is saved by 
the name 'scratchbox' in '/')

 2.Extracted contents of scratchbox-libs-1.0.8-i386.tar.tar to 'scratchbox' 
(the folder in '/')

 3. in Terminal:
     $cd /scratchbox
     $/scratchbox/run_me_first.sh
      Do you want to use sudo mode?[yes/no] (no) :- no
      Give the name of the scratchbox group(sbox):- (I didn't enter any  
name,clicked 'enter')

      The group 'sbox' doesn't exist.Would you like to create the group 'sbox'? 
[yes/no] (yes) :- yes

   Creating group 'sbox'
   Stopping scratchbox:umount,binfmt_misc
   Starting scratchbox:binfmt_misc,mount
   Now you should add one or more users with /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser

   $/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser  muser
     Add user 'muser' to group 'sbox'?[yes/no] (yes):-yes
     Scratchbox user account for 'muser'  added.

After completing this stage,I rebooted the system and logged in as 'muser'

I navigated to /scratchbox and then typed 'groups' in the terminal window
and, I was shown the group 'sbox' as the documentation says.
But,when I type /scratchbox/login in the terminal window,I get the message -

ERROR:Scratchbox not set up properly.

(If i login as 'root' after rebooting and maneouvre to /scratchbox,I can't see 
the group 'sbox' when I  type 'groups' in the terminal window)

I don't understand what the problem is.Please advice.I am new to Linux and 
Maemo so would appreciate it if you explain things in simple terms.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Avi
