I finally got my hands on a nice little drum machine (Hydrogen) and I downloaded a .RUN file as the installation. Can I run this through the terminal or can I install it period? Curiousity only injured the cat. I finished it off.. Muahahaha...

If you have not done so, you will have to make the file executable before you can run it. I will use the file name install.run, and this file will be located in the present working directory for the purposes of this explanation. Open a terminal window, or switch to a console display. To make the file executable, run the following command: chmod +x ./install.run The dot-slash (./) in front of the file name tells the bash command interpreter to look for the file (install.run) in the present working directory. Then execute it: ./install.run HTH, Ernie Registered Linux User 247790 ICQ 41060744
