I've installed a new version of the script /inst/sgi_62/root/ais/query
on tae-kwon-leap.  This script is invoked when installing IRIX 6.2 on
an Indy.  The change is to detect when the machine has insufficient
memory, i.e. less than 64 MB.  If so, the install will abort, unless
a custom install is done, in which case the user is given the chance
to proceed anyway.

[Note that the 8.2 update for IRIX fails for a machine with less than
64 MB; the install will succeed if the installer proceeds, but it will
take a very long time (10 hours or so).]

The previous version of the script is saved in query.old.

Bob
