Hey comunity!
I've downloaded a game called Heretic II for linux but I have no idea how to install it.Can any of you help me, please? It's a ISO file, I've opened it with "ISO Master" and found some "readme" in wich is told how to install it :

Mount the Heretic II CD and change the current directory to where
it is mounted. Type 'sh setup.sh' to run the install script.

e.g. Log in as root:
mount /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
sh setup.sh
I've tried what it says but it seems that I'm doing it wrong.
Please help me,
Zakarum.

Ouch, about the title: the script that should install the game is named "setup.sh" I've exctracted all the game data from the ISO and tried to run the "setup.sh" but without success.

Possibly a permissions problem; I don't think scripts run from cd ISO.
Try from your /home, as root, 'cp /mnt/cdrom/setup.sh .' & take a look inside with an editor to see what it is trying to do. Try running it from there 'sh /mnt/cdrom/setup.sh'.
Maybe, copy all the contents of the cd to a dir on your disc & try running it from there.
(That's all I can think of.)

edit: check to make sure the script is executable.

Try this:
```
su
mount -o loop -o exec hereticII.iso /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
sh setup.sh
```
Of course you should change "hereticII.iso" to wath-ever or where-ever your ISO file may be. What is does is gain root permissions, then mount the ISO as a loop file with executable permissions, after which it runs the setup.sh file. hopefully this will do the trick.
