Hi Jim, my guess is that .RUN package is a 'script' that is meant to be run. (I assume you do not mean .rpm which is a redhat package format) if is usually done by: ------------------ su chmod +x file.run ./file.run ----------------- the 'su' is to become root the 'chmod +x' makes the script executable and the last line 'runs' the script. if you use 'more' or 'less': more file.run you should see readable text that looks like a shell script. if not, then I dont know. -Kev
