  $ ls -l /bin/sh
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Nov 19 15:06 /bin/sh -> bash

That's rarely a good idea, and won't help.

I think it's just that the shell script Brad is trying to execute
doesn't have the executable bit set. Since it's on a CD you won't be
able to make it executable directly (chmod +x); instead, just do 'sh
install_su_linux'.

Cheers,
