About halfway through the install it tells me it is going to close and that I have to manually delete some files, any files that remain in /usr/X11R6/bin, then delete the bin directory. Then I am supposed to restart the install, just how do you restart an install. In the status toolbar at the bottom of the screen it says there are 79 files to install. How do you restart the install? regards Paul
