Hi All:
	Yesterday I tried to install the NeXT_AppleTalk.pkg . I launched 

Installer, opened up the package, and tried to install it. But after checking
all of the files, Installer reported that all of the files in  
NextLibrary/Documentation were on a read-only file system. This makes sense 

since I linked the Documentation folders from my hard drive to the CD to
save a bunch of space. The question is, why does the  NeXT_AppleTalk.pkg need 

to modify these files? Is there some way around it without putting all of the
Documentation on my Hard Disk? I tried un-taring the .tar.Z file in the .pkg 

folder by hand, but got a "tar: directory checksum error (0 != 2407)" when 

un-taring it :( :(
ANY help would be appreciated, since my comupter will be connected to an 

AppleTalk ethernet network in a matter of weeks.
thanks...
			Rob
