Re: gEDA-user: cdrom install question

[sdb@xxxxxxxxxx (Stuart Brorson)]

The file "installer" is just a bash script (IIRC) which sets some
shell variables and then invokes the
frozen Python install executable.  I don't think it even needs the env
variables set to run correctly; they are just a precaution.  

As a work around, you can read the commands in the
installer script and execute the same commands manually.  The real
executable is called "installer.exe".

Another possibility:  Read the README.Debian file on the CD.  Perhaps
you need to set some permissions to run a script off of a CD.

Good luck, and let us know of any other problems.  Meanwhile, I will
try to figure out what is what is up wiht Gentoo.  If you discover
what the problem is, let us know!  It helps me make the installer more
robust for everybody!
