    Use 'cat' to dump the contents of the file to the terminal.

    Use 'less' or 'more' if you want to view the contents of the file one page
    at a time (waiting for you to press the space bar to advance to the next
    page).

    Use 'sh' to execute the commands in the script (if the USB drive is
    formatted with a Linux native filesystem like ext3, use chmod to set the
    execute bit and execute teh script directly from the USB device).
