this is my first question.

I use Multisystem all of the time and have installed it on both Kubuntu and Ubuntu and have used it with no issues. I wiped my hard drive to try some new OSs I'm now using the exact same OS (Ubuntu 12.05) I used to load my USB stick to begin with and now I'm getting this ridiculous syntax error. I know the script is correct, I'm following the exact same steps I used to get to this point and I'm getting different results ?!?! I'm very confused by this.

I have no clue how to begin addressing this issue. I get the same syntax error on Kubuntu now too, which did have multisystem installed.

I run "sh install-depot-multisystem.sh" and get "Syntax error:redirection unexpected", this worked literally 2 days ago. The only thing that has changed is my face has grown some more facial hair and my head hurts from bangin it against the wall over this issue.

The OS is exactly the same, the script is the same; but now it won't install. I'm lost and really hoping someone can help.

Append

Just to append to this a bit

I needed to do a chmod 777 on the script, I'm still getting a syntax error on Kubuntu...but it did install successfully. I'll mark this as resovled!

Thanks anyway, I'll try to spruse up on my Linux skills.
