Two things. One. Never use just 'su'. *always* use 'su -' to reset your environment. Two. Is it executable? Either that, or try "sh ./ati...". -- Carpe diem - Seize the day.

Use "su -" instead.

Hmm, why not get root's environment? I'd do it like this: su - <enter root password> sh ~steve/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Welcome to linux, where the mere presence of an "executable file" (or virus) is insufficient to allow it to run. Your system is thereby protected. Set the permissions to allow it to be executed. as root chmod 700 ./ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
