It sounds like you -- and maybe that other guy -- got stung by the default confi guration SuSE puts into the fstab for cdroms. They set the "user" option and th at disables all execution from the cdrom. By commenting out the line in the fst ab and manually mounting the drive, you did NOT set the user bit... you could ex ectute from the cd... just my guess On 29-Mar-98 Mark Wagnon wrote:

I bought the Triteal CDE from RedHat when I was still using redhat. to install it you needed to run install-CDE which was located under /cdrom. I too kept getting permission denied. redhat's solution was that I comment the cdrom entry in my /etc/fstab. I folloed their advice and it worked. after I installed, I simply fixed my fstab file.
Maybe there is a similar problem with applixware?
Good luck anyway

Help. I recently switched from Red Hat 5.0 to S.u.S.E. 5.1. I didn't realize that Applixware was designed for Red Hat. I tried to ./install-applix from my /cdrom but got a "Permission Denied" message. I also tried to install it with RPM but was informed that Applix menus was also needed. Does anyone know how I might install it? I really enjoy using it. BTW I also am really enjoying S.u.S.E. 5.1.
