Hi Dan. Out of curiousity, what's the permissions on the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run file? Do the following: # stat NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run You should see something like: File: `NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run' Size: 8167999 Blocks: 15984 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 900h/2304d Inode: 32778 Links: 1 Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 501/mandrake) Gid: ( 501/mandrake) Access: 2004-10-17 19:54:32.000000000 -0500 Modify: 2004-09-30 17:12:18.000000000 -0500 Change: 2004-10-05 21:55:03.000000000 -0500 If the executable bit isn't set, you won't be able to execute it, no matter which user you're trying to run it with. To correct it, simply type: # chmod 0755 NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run Then you should be able to execute the file without any problems. Let me know if that's indeed the problem, or if we should dive a little deeper into it. -- Take care, Randall Hobbs Programmer - System Administrator - Chip Castle Dot Com, Inc.
