Yep, tried to do this- both while in the directory where the SUN version
was located and then also pointing to that directory. Regrettably this
did not work for me. Must have been doing something terribly wrong :-( .


Had to install using the old "rpm -i *.rpm" approach.


Will complete the full install tomorrow now that I located the XP
installation disc - and blew the dust off it :-D
