Has anyone tried SBM Im a Newbe and need help as how to make the Tex document sminist-static executable ,I dont know the first thing about programming.

open a consolle cd to the folder (that is change directory by typing cd /search/path/to/file) where the smbinst is located and type

chmod +x ./file

or perhaps just do

chmod +x /search/path/to/file

then do

/search/path/to/file

to complicated? if you think so ask further.

I suppose I go into dos? I have the subminst-static Tex dodument DL to my desktop Do I type the commands in the Text document or in dos I cant seem to get it right. thanks for the help

DOS?
Desktop?

You need to boot into Linux, probably Knoppix,
then open up a console (bash for example),
(console is what YOU are calling a dos prompt)

then find the sbm-static file,
and do a chmod +x sbm-static
next, execute it:
sbm-static

if you have Windows, there's a installer (.exe file) for Smart Boot Manager to write it to diskette.

if you can't work it out,
download the diskette version of Smart Boot Manager we created for FreeDOS:
http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9rc5/fdos1440.img
(boot from it, option 1, then option 3, and then you are in Smart Boot Manager)
