Re: RHDB 2.1 ISO not working


I downloaded the iso from a mirror in hawaii into my windows machine. I burned it at 6x speed with my HP burner and EasyCD Creator software. I then tried to use it on my Redhat 8.0 machine.

here is my fstab file:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,kudzu 0 0

The mount my cdrom with Gkrellm.

I open up my terminal and cd into the cd directory.
I run "./Install" and I get this error:
bash: ./Install: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied.

Of course, I am doing all this while using the root account.

I've tried it in Gnome, KDE, and Blackbox.

The weird stuff that I found on the cd are these:
The "Install" scripts were named "install" with a lowercase i.
The "RHL-7.3" and "RHL-8.0" directories were in lowercase and they had a underline instead of a hyphen.
I also think I saw that the execute permission was missing from all files and directories.

If you think they my burning software could be the culprit, you may be right but I've never had a problem like this before. I've burned my redhat os iso's with no problem.

Could it be my fstab setup?

Thanks for helping me. I've been a windows slave for a long time and when I started using linux, the first thing that hit me was how great linux people are with help and support. When I get good enough at linux, I'll pay it forward.

Hi Paul,

Andrew and I downloaded the latest (2.1) ISO and tried to install it on
test systems running Red Hat Linux 7.3, 8.0 and AS 2.1 via both, hd (w/
iso mounted) and cd. We were unable to reproduce the error you
experienced in any of the cases.

Could you please provide us with more information including:
The error you experienced (i.e. which files you found to be incorrectly
named in the scripts),
The OS you are running,
The CD-ROM mount settings you used,
and the method you used for burning the CD?

Thanks,
Deepak B
