[Meow27]

errr. hey there


ive recently tormented that battlestar galactica demo (for linux which is a run file)
but i dont know how to open it. i installed dosbox not too long ago and it looks like its the program thats taking care of those files....... can anyone tell me how to get my system running it again?

thanks

.run is a linux native, not dosbox (I think).

Try opening a terminal and sticking ./ or sh in front of the run file. One of those should get it to run.

(or maybe it's /. - can't remember for sure)

first make sure that it's executable.

chmod +x file.run

than

sh file.run

Hi

Try this:-

1. Open up a terminal.
2. Cd to the directory that the program is in.
3. Then type

sh <insert Battlestar Gallactica program name you are trying to run here>

4. You should end up with the desired result.

Hope that helps!
