>try >#chmod +x setup >and *then* >#./setup -net >That's the only thing I can think of -- that setup is a script or >something and not set to be executable. > yea try what he says... check that the script is executable using the ls command "ls -alF" (or just use "ll", an alias of ls for "long list" ) look for your file and then look to the left to make sure the x (executable) bit is set. if its not run "chmod +x setup", "chmod 777 setup", etc. to make the file executable. and if "./setup -net" still isn't workin try something like "sh ./setup -net" or "sh %full path name%/setup -net". Now would be a good time to read the man pages for ls, and chmod, and man..."man ls", "man chmod", and "man man". BTW why are you trying to do a network install (setup -net)?
