Don't know how to install a *.bin program in UU9.10

[tommark]

I downloaded a CRM (vtiger), which came as a *.bin program. There are complete instructions on the vtiger site about installation, but I have to be logged in as "root".
I understand that "root" privileges have been excluded from UU910, how do I log is as a root user? typing "su" doesn't do the job. No matter what I try, I get the "~", not the "#".
Thank you.

If the file is meant to be executed, I guess it already has the execute bit on. In that case I believe running from the folder where the file is

sudo bash filename.bin

should do the job.

Another option is:

./filename.bin

(yes, put ./ in front of the name)

But not sure if it works if sudo is needed. Give it a shot.

sudo -i will give you a persistent root shell.
