several possible problems...
first (provided you've cd'ed to the directory Setup.sh is in):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ./Setup.sh # Note the leading "." , ./ means this
directory whereas / means the top
level directory.
Second and trickier is that the cdrom may be mounted with the "noexec"
option, try remounting it with:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mount -o exec -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
The "noexec" option is part of the "user" option allowing anyone with
access to the system to mount a cdrom. This is a security feature
which isn't really applicable to home machines.
