Hi Jeffry and all others !
Extract the .tar (tarball) file with 'tar xvf so51a_lnx_01.tar". This
will create 2 directorys. One is called (if I remeber correct)
so51install. In there is a file calles setup. Run that file with ./setup
and install will start. You can also do a network install if you have
several users/machines. this is done with './setup /net'. If you do a
network install, I would do it as root and put it in /usr/local/.
Hope this helps and that nobody flames me about filesecuritys.
/Jocke!
