I'd probably chmod the directory, but it all depends on the number of users you have (I'm root on my box, since it's all *mine*! :) > My linux box (DX2/50) has 8 Mb of main memory.

Executor is quite memory hungry, and it uses X, so the X server will take up memory too. To banish the swap daemon/demon a memory upgrade is a good idea. BTW, does your computer use 30-pin SIMMs or 72-pin SIMMS? If it's 30, you'll have to remove 4MB of RAM and buy 16 MB of ram (4MBx9 SIMMS) to go to 20 MB. For a 72-pin MB, you can just get an 8 MB simm to upgrade to 16. (Or, get 16 MB and go to 24 :) (Of course, a Pentium/90 with 16 or 24 MB or so will run Executor faster, but who can afford that :) Seriously, I run Executor on my DX2/66 just fine in 16 MB (just don't start many large xv processes).
