RE: Linux installation help

[Larry E. Whitman]

Paul and Kerry and others,

Thanks for the input. Our support guy played with the makefile.conf (trial 
and error) per Paul's suggestion and got it to work. He is not real sure 
what he did, but we now are actually able to run the first tutorial. So, 
the first roadblock has been smashed down, onto others.

Thanks again for the help,

Larry

Paul, in case you are interested, I answered your questions below.

We loaded it all on a fresh box.

That is what he changed, thanks to your advice.
