Arghh... Problem installing Quake3Demo

[kuber]

Ok, so I go to root and run:

sh quakeblahblah.sh and get this white screen that has a prompt... Now what? (or what am I doing wrong?)

Thanks,

are you running this through X?? I suggest being logged into X then open a terminal and then browse to the directory that it's in then type

./quake3blahblahblah

it should say verifying the intergrity then open another screen then show a bunch of . then open the install prog.. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Hmm.. I tried that with a terminal and it gave me permission denied-even in root...

When I installed it, I had to use "bash quake3blehbleh.sh" to get it working.
sh didn't work, and just running it didn't work.

Damn! I tried bash quake3...sh and got the same white screen as with sh. Is there something wrong with my bash/sh?

[:strain:]

chmod +x the file

and then ./ run it.

Great-that worked-thanks. What exactly did that do?

That was about to be my next suggestion basically it changed the attributes of the file to allow execution.. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
