Hi Sandy,

This has happened because you've done something dark and shameful.

Chances are you extracted it to a filesystem that's either fat32 (my
first guess) or ntfs (less likely, but still possible.

Untar it to a partition with a good filesystem (xfs) and you'll be
leaping for joy.

Cheers,

Alan.

Hi All,

Trying to setup XSI 5.11 on Suse linux here - and found a really strange
thing - something I have never come across before in any variant of
Linux/Unix - it seems that like Windoze - Suse does not differentiate
between Capital and no caps lettering - i tried to untar the Install to be
able to install it, and it has a problem with the folder 'Setup' and the
executable file 'setup' - tells me 'Setup' exists and should it rename
'setup' or overwrite it!!!

Any ideas how to overcome this - as the whole install does not work if I
mess with this - yep tried renaming 'setup' to 'setupSS' and it goes for a
bit - and then bombs with can't read 'setup'!!

Thanks

S.
