I am installing a software into FreeBsd 2.2.5 Server.
In the instruction it said to do this :


for i in 'cat /mnt/cdrom/courses/list.txt'
do
 mkdir $i
 cd $i
 tar xvf /mnt/cdrom/courses/$i.tar
 cd ..
done

It was instructed to do this from directory where I want it to be
installed. It does not what shell to user.
I do it and it creates dir by the name cat xvf cd and it stops.
And gives me such as /cdrom/courses/cat not found.

I tried in 'sh' shell 'bash' shell.
Could somebody help me please.
