+# bash /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/reconfigure_feisty_meow.sh
 
 Connect the feisty meow scripts to your login script (in ~/.bashrc).
 Note that this actually modifies ~/.bashrc.  This step is only needed once.
-# bash ~/feisty_meow/scripts/core/connect_feisty_meow.sh
+# bash /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/connect_feisty_meow.sh

 Note that you should not need this step if you connected feisty meow to
 ~/.bashrc above.
