I have to give an installer RIGHTS to execute?! I thought that's what being 'root' was for.
Now I'm REALLY confused. And just when I thought I was starting to get this Linux stuff.
...and what the heck is $phmod and what's the 777 fer?
Oh well, I guess I can give it a shot, but I would much rather understand what i'm doing.
UPDATE
This is what I get when I try that:
bash: 777: command not found
What now?
Never mind, I get it. Reading up on chmod now. I'll be back if I need more help. Thanks!
