Caldera Problems as a Newbie

Hi,

	I am not used to this system or indeed to Linux, so if I offend local
mores, please forgive.

	I have a problem with Caldera OpenLinux ver 2.3.  I installed it
successfully enough on my machine.  As root user, I then tried to mount a
WordPerfect ver 8 disc, which was mounted OK.  I then tried to follow the
instructions which involved setting the directory to /mnt/cdrom and typing
./install.wp and I got "permission denied" as superuser.  I tried the same
with StarOffice 5.1 (cd/mnt/linux/office51 type ./setup) and again got
"permission denied".  

	There is obviously something simple I am missing here, but I don't
understand what.  I have tried fairly extensive reading to no avail.  I
would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

With thanks,   Rick
