As per instructions, I switch to root:
$ su - root
$ whoami
root
$ echo $EUID
0
and then execute the installer:
$ cd /media/cdrom0
$ ./install
and I get this error:
sudo: unable to execute ./install: Permission denied
What? I'm root! What's with this? I double check to make sure the execute bit is set:
$ ls -lA | grep install$
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 17284 Oct 25 09:22 install
Yep. People online are saying that you need to drag the install script to the terminal after typing sudo. So I do that, and this command is what's formed:
$ sudo '/media/cdrom0/install'
sudo: unable to execute /media/cdrom0/install: Permission denied
What's the solution here?
