Re: [newbie] LimeWare Install issue
And it should have been obvious to me, lol, but it wasn't. I kept wondering why I could download something when I was root, but couldn't as a user. (I thought the runlime script would INSTALL it, not just run a JAVA applet.) After a few tries, it dawned on me, DOH You don't have permissions to the download directory! So I thought I'd share that with the list before somebody made the same silly mistake! :0) tdh -- T. Holmes - UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 17021091 - Real Men Use Vi!
