Remember that linux is crazy about file permissions do a ls -l to see the permissions of a file. If you don't have execute permissions you can't run it. You can change the permissions in Nautilus or Konqueror by right clicking or you can execute a command line command:Hi. I encountered a problem, and a solution, but I don't understand why it worked. Namely, I have attempted to run bin files (for example, to install Java for Mozilla from Sun) and failed. I was told that I was not authorized, although I was logged in as root. The files was stored on a mounted FAT32 partition. I copied the file over to the Linux partition and ran it without any trouble. The problem is resolved, but I am now curious as to why it was a problem to begin with. Any ideas?
Many thanks-- Andrew
