Is it possible to install ATI drivers in Knoppix to get Hardware Acceleration? I've went to ATI's web site and the only download they have is the file "ati-driver-installer-8.16.20-i386.run". When I try to run that file is gives the messege
bash: ./ati-driver-installer-8.16.20-i386.run: Permission denied
. Is there another way to install the drivers?

My overall plan is to try to run 3D-Desktop on a hard drive install of Knoppix, I got everything else working that 3D-Desktop needs except for the Hardware Acceleration.
