Hi,

I'm trying to install backtrack2 on my usb thumbdrive. I was able to extract two folders BT and boot in the the thumbdrive. however i am unable to run the ./bootinst.sh and get the followin error messages. "-bash: ./bootinst.sh: Permission denied" I already tried chmod a+rx bootinst.sh and chmod 777 bootinst.sh. but still getting the same message. Any advice?

[root@servera media]# cd USB20FD
[root@servera USB20FD]# ls
