Hi Reg1,

Welcome to the LinuxForums.

root privileges are required to create anything outside user's home folder. prefix 'sudo' to gain root privileges.

sudo sh install_script

but here i have another problem now see when i type in the ip address for the server i want .i type this 83.170 but see when i type the 170 this jumps behind the 83. bit and i can join my regular server for et.and also i can't see the server on the list whem i click online but this didn't matter before if i seen the server or not
as in windows i type in the ip address and its straight forward.but dosen't go that way on linux.
