yea try what he says...
check that the script is executable using the ls command "ls -alF" (or 
just use "ll", an alias of ls for "long list" ) look for your file and 
then look to the left to make sure the x (executable) bit is set.

if its not run "chmod +x setup", "chmod 777 setup", etc. to make the 
file executable.

and if "./setup -net" still isn't workin try something like "sh ./setup 
-net" or "sh %full path name%/setup -net".

Now would be a good time to read the man pages for ls, and chmod, and 
man..."man ls", "man chmod", and "man man". BTW why are you trying to do 
a network install (setup -net)?
