I was trying to install a .run file (for PostgreSQL as it happens) and it just didn't seem to be working.
I was wondering things like "Does Fedora support .run files?" or "Is there some package installer I need to feed it to?" and it turned out that.... one needs to chmod the file (or use the Properties context-menu in Nautilus) to set it executable.
Do more newbie-orientated distributions at least display an "I'm not running this because it's not executable" warning?
