Re: [newbie] .sh files
You just have to execute this script in a GUI (as root if you want to install quake in /usr/local/games) It will launch an installation program. It worked fine for me.

Re: [newbie] .sh files
Indeed. Now, I remember. I had the same problem. I still don't understand why, but I had to copy the file elsewhere. I copied it to /tmp, then executed it, and it worked. Check also that it is executable. If it is not, do a 'chmod +x linuxq3demo...sh' HTH Flupke bosco wrote: Yeah I know.. I tried that.. It said Cannot Executre /bosco/home/linuxq3ademo.. etc... ??

Re: [newbie] .sh files
hmm. And you're sure they're executable? (if not: chmod +x filename.sh). Or you could just type: "sh math/to/sh-file.sh".

Re: [newbie] .sh files
Check the permissions on the files. Make sure you have execute permission on the script. If you don't know how to change permisson, do a "man chmod" On Tue, 07 Mar 2000, bosco wrote: Yeah I know..
