Hi Mathieu,

if you mount the cdrom through a desktop icon, the underlying mount
command usually has the noexec flag, so xinstall.sh will not run.

solution: (from SuSE experience, but may be relevant to Debian, too):

- use 'source xinstall.sh' (tcsh) or '. xinstall.sh' (bash)
this will not run xinstall.sh directly, but asks the shell to run it

or

- mount manually the CD (as root), eg. mount /dev/cdrom /mnt, then
/mnt/xinstall.sh should run

regards,
lajos
