Hamm installation

1997-10-27 Thread Bao C. Ha
What is the proper way to install Hamm? I want to install it on a clean disk. I use the CDROM to install the base 1.3. Then when it reboots, I use FTP in dselect to try to install hamm. It did not work. Appreciate any comments/suggestions. Thanks. Bao -- Bao C. Ha ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
