All,<div><br></div><div> For running the OpenGrADS Bundle directly from an external memory stick/flash drive under Linux/Mac OS X/Unix the device has to be mounted in a way that the program files appear to the OS as "executables". The good news is that this is the default in most systems for most devices. However, for the SDHC memory stick on the Eeepc 900 this is not the case. Iterating with Valeria Guerra we figured out that unmounting the drive and remounting it with the command:</div>
<div><br></div><div>% mount <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">-o rw,umask=000 -t vfat</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">/dev/sdb1 /media/D:</span></div><div><br></div>
<div>did the trick. The particular device (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">/dev/sdb1</span> in this case) and mounting directory (/<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">media/D:</span> in this case) may vary from system to system. Usually you need superuser privileges to issue the "mount" command. </div>

<br>
thanks to your latest note now your second package can be executed from a SDHC memory stick on the Eeepc 900.<br>
<br>
First it's necessary to umount the SDHC and then remount it with:<br>
mount -o rw,umask=000 -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/D:<br>
Then you can change to /media/D:/grads2a5b/Contents and run ./grads and ./merra<br>
<br>
Now I must check how to automate this umount/mount process into the default Xandros...<br>
<br>
Thank you very much.<br>
<br>
Valerio Guerra<br>
