I know a little more than you, which simply means I'm even more 
dangerous.  =8-)

The ./ means "run this program right here in the current directory, even 
tho it's not on my search path."  And that stupid little period eluded 
me for a long time.

Terrance will be the authority here, but I got the impression that the 
CD contained not only a bootable Linux OS but also a set of 
pre-installed binaries for Radiance.  Did you have a look in 
/usr/local/bin to see if the radiance progs are already in there?  I'm 
pretty sure it's ready to go.
