Hello all, this is my first post and, not suprisingly, it consists of a problem.

I have an old Toshiba T4800CT laptop with these specs:

75Mhz 486/DX2
8Mb RAM (embedded) + 16Mb RAM (add-on card)
500Mb harddrive
Floppy drive only
Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 GlobalACCESS Adapter (REM56G-100)

This old timer had Windows 3.11 on it for a while, but I got tired of it and decided to put Linux on it.

My friend recommended me DSL, and after a demonstration by him on one of his old PCs, I was highly impressed.

::tips hat towards DSL developer/s::

I have no CD-ROM drive on this computer (as stated before) and I have no access to an external drive, either.

I do, however, have a DSL connection (no pun intended) and a working copy of TOMSRTBT on floppy.

I decided to preform a network install of DSL. I intend to keep DSL on the harddrive on one partition and a swap space on another partition. (Psst, help/advice with partitioning is appreciated.)

I am following these instructions: Network install.

Everything has been dandy until I get to this point:

"Finally run the frugal_lite.sh like this:

./frugal_lite.sh"

When I type that command in, I get this message:

"./frugal_lite.sh: permission denied"

I have no idea what to do now. Any help is appreciated. I already searched the forum/Google for a solution, but no luck.

Thanks in advance,

michas_pi

P.S. I am a part-Linux n00b, so detailed, easy-to-follow explanations are highly appreciated. I will get around to teaching myself more Linux skills, however.

You forgot to make frugal_lite.sh executable.

Code Sample
chmod +x frugal_lite.sh


Should work like a charm now.
