Linegod_7611 : 05/11/02 08:26 PM : Reply received -   The file that you downloaded was probably 'linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh' or something very similar. If it was all you have to do is: # su # chmod 775 linuxq3ademo* # ./linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh I would, however, recommend searching for the latest point release, to ensure that you are up-to-date, to avoid any known problems. The point releases are usually '.run' files or '.bin' files. To execute these, do: # su # chmod 775 whatever.run # ./whatever.run ----- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
