[Coco] DriveWire frustrations

[Christopher Barnett Fox]

Aaron,

As packaged, the DriveWire 4 install and instructions do not work. The included shell script's permissions do not include the execute flag, so cannot be double-clicked to launch, nor run from the CLI without changing the file mode to add the execute bit.

Well, your failure is because .command files are for Mac OSX.

To start the server on Linux, use the Linux file which ends in .sh

This is covered in the documentation wiki and the included readme.
