Hi Kevin, Tully

thank you for your prompt replies.

im not using ros on C1 or C2. i'm installing ros at ~/ros using
rosinstall on my laptop.

OK, i see.

in addition to that, i think the documentation which is outputted at
the end of execution of the script is a little bit confusing:
"done. Now, type 'source %s/setup.sh' to set up your environment.
Add that to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc to set it up every time."

rosinstall, i think, should say "source %s/setup.bash if you are using bash."
