How to install from .run files
Hello,
I just downloaded a game which is in the .run extension.. I tried installing it by using this command ./sh (filename) -target (target location)
for some reason this does not work could anyone help ?
i also tried without the target parameter and then it tells me no permission even as root.
Thanks :-)

Make sure the file has execute permission.
chmod +x YOUR-FILE.run

 How did you manage to look at the computer?? My eyes can't read until after the second cup.
Java in the cup is much better than java on computers.

Through the tiny slits that are open
BTW, looks like we're almost neighbors. I'm from Bowdon, GA... about 10 miles for the Alabama state line.... Guess that makes me a redneck geek
