Yes - I've got ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso

Dragged and dropped with the File Browser.

OK.   When I was in the bin directory, it gave me a permission denied 
without the sudo.  I assumed that the git.cl was a directory, and I did have 
one of those in lilypond-git.

Strictly, this doesn't work on my system.  I have to do a few cd .. commands 
before bin is there.

I get permission denied.  Sudo fixes that.

Yup :-).  Is the CG in error - it says git cl, not git-cl?

The CG now says:

"If you added your patch to master, then:

git pull -r
git cl upload origin/master"
TBH, I don't know whether I did or not.  Should I follow these instructions 
exactly?
