You have the right file. After the file downloads you log in as root. Open a
terminal/console window. Do a chmod 777 *.bin. Then simply enter the complete
file name with extension. Use the /net argument if you want to do network
install. If you do a network install then log in as user and go to the
directory that SO 5.2 is installed and execute setup. This will install the
user files and direcortory. There is a complete PDF file with install
instruction available. I did not use it as PDF reader is still not installed
on my machine yet. This instructions are available on the download pages, I
believe. Have fun. My install network went well. Only problem is that it did
not find Adabas stuff, but that could have been my fault as their is
instructions on some file changes that may have to be done manual to properly
locate files that I did not do and their is a three user limit on it.
