Hi Jo,

Thanks for the help. You write:

We made a clean copy of the xinstall.sh file to /tmp, so we believe
the CD is readable.

> See if sh resides in bin and if you can execute it,

Yes, it resides in /bin. It appears to work.

Tried this, and we still fail with the permission not allowed error
message below.

Here is the English translation (nearly) verbatim:

/media/cdrom/install/xinstall/xinstall.linux.x86: Permission not
allowed.

I'm not sure "fun" is the word I would use to describe this part of
Africa (one of the poorest parts of West Africa). But "cool" does
come to mind, in several senses of the word, but especially with
respect to those brutal temperatures in Europe. We even turned
the air conditioning off last night!

Cheers,

David

P.S. This is a "fairly new" version of Debian LINUX and we are
installing
IDL 6.1 an RSI-supplied CD, if that is any help.
