It's a program, not a script. Why isn't it executable? JLK On Tuesday 31 October 2000 21:17, you wrote:
Try to execute oss-install with trace turned on and see where exactly it fails:

I logged in as root and from the command line used YaST to install the ossdos_up-3.9.3n package from the pay series.
I went to the /tmp directory and issued the following command:
./oss-install
The results are listed below.

I even changed the ownership to root:root and no joy, so I switched them back. Nothing in the /etc/permissions file refers to oss.
Notice that I also tried to address the oss-install program with the COMPLETE path and still it failed. The behavior NEVER occured on any prior distro of SuSE!!!
