[TriLUG] Ubuntu on my laptop, wow

[Randall Barlow]

OK, so I've run into a little problem with Ubuntu.  I'm trying to 
install MATLAB from a CD, but the install script keeps failing.

root at overthruster:/media/cdrom0 # sh install_unix.sh
install_unix.sh: /media/cdrom0/unix/install: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: 
Permission denied

The same thing happens if I run it as "./install_unix.sh".  I've tried 
running it logged in as root, using su, using "su -", and also sudo.  I 
seem to get the same error every time.  I've check the fstab file, which 
does not have the "noexec" flag.  The permissions on the file are:

-r-xr-xr-x   1 root root     76 Jan  9  2004 install_unix.sh

so it seems to have execute permissions (unless I am not reading that 
line right, which is entirely possible :))  Any ideas of anything else I 
could check?
