Hi Andrew,
Final update:
Using version 2 of the installer instead of version 4 worked fine. The
only problem was an operator error (I "borrowed" an in-use IP address
from a live system. When I shutdown the other system, it worked fine.)
The system is now running 9.2.27.
The next step for this box is to sent it up as a private Athena
workstation for the particular lab environment.
Please let me know if you will want access to this system or a similar one
to test or debug a new installer.
Thanks,
--Tom
