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...

Let it put the Docs there so the install will work. Then you can decide whether you want to leave it or not. It's only 99 KB or so, and all in the directory /NextLibrary/Documentation/AppleTalk. I have no idea whether the stuff is in /NextLibrary/Documentation on the CD, but you can certainly check and see. -- Bob Cook bobcook@slac.stanford.edu Stanford Linear Accelerator Center NeXT mail okay on were on a read-only file system.
