The problem is.. it WON'T let me install the new docs... it checks the Folder, 

sees it is Read-Only, and pops up one of those great 1-choice error panels 

telling me that there were errors during the instalation, check the log :(
Any other hints? The folder NextLibrary/Documentation is linked right to the
CD, so I can't really add a NextLibrary/Documentation/AppleTalk folder :(
