The instructions are incorrect for this. The installer wants/needs read and write access to the installation files, so the install fails with a "bad interpreter: Permission denied" error. What I ended up doing was: 1. coping the contents of the Parallels ISO to a folder on the desktop. 2. assigning read and write permissions to all the files 3. remounted the Debian ISO, you'll need this to finish 4. start a terminal session as root 5. apt-get install gcc 6. apt-get install make 7. uname -r 8. apt-get install linux-headers-"XXXXX", where XXXX is the results from #6 for my distro it was: apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.26-2-686 9. switch to the folder with the Tools install 10. sh ./install 11. let the install run, it will prompt that you are still missing components. as long as you've left the debian ISO mounted it will to it automatically
Thank you for these comments! My understanding was that our current documentation covers this in proper details - were you searching through it? What section of documentation you think require improvement? Thank you, Max
