Hey!

I wonder what I could do, coz when I start an executable I get the error Permission Denied...

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
K-Zodron

You need to learn the chmod shell command. Click for the wikipedia article.

Tried chmod 111 <name of exe> and modding to 777 also, and I get: "Read-only file system"

What file are you attempting to run, and where is it located?

If it is something in /sbin or /usr/sbin, it's probably an application that should be run by root.
