I think my problem is the way I downloaded the distribution files. I want to install from a pre-mounted file on my Linux system. A couple questions: . What is the naming convention that SETUP uses to find these files? Must they be in individual directories /A /AP etc.? Any restrictions on the directory names? . Are the .TXT files required? . Does SETUP uncompress the tgz files?
This is all probably documented somewhere but I haven't been able to find it.
