Problem executing Fastboot under Linux

[Guest sads45]

I am a complete novice with the SF and with Linux so please bear with me.

I received my SF today and installed Ubuntu Linux 10.10 on my PC so that I could install ClockworkModRecovery on the SF.

I created a Folder named "fastboot" within my home folder and copied Fastboot and the image for ClockworkModRecovery into it. I then changed directory into this folder and opened a terminal and ran the command :

"sudo fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-blade.img"

but received the response "command not found". If I perform "ls" it does show "fastboot-linux" in green.

I then discovered that if I used the full pathname :

"sudo /home/ian/fastboot/fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-blade.img"

it worked.

I thought if I was in a Folder I should be able to execute programs that were also in that folder?

Could someone explain to this Noob what I am doing wrong?

Add ./ before the command.
