4. Enable permissions (again in terminal): "chmod 777 LBA_DATA -R"

5. Go to LBA_DATA folder and launch: "./LBA"

Voila, it runs! no sound however, but maybe that's because it's just 153mb? I'm going to check the original cd for the soundfiles

The package is called rootsh, but you shouldn't need it at all from your description, and it's best not to do things as root unless you have to. Never copy or move things to your user directory as root. (/home/user).

So, put the data in your device in USB mass storage mode, then open an xterm window and move it to /home/user/ like this:

Code:

mv MyDocs/LBA_DATA .

(Don't miss that period after the space at the end.)

Launch it

Code:

cd LBA_DATA
./LBA

Should do it, i think.

PS The move command will complain at you (because the MyDocs directory is on a crappy FAT volume so it can be compatible with Windows and stuff), but don't mind it.
