NB: this snip is Herouth's, so I presume the next item refers to server
installation.

What does that mean? To clarify, I have a Linux machine on which I
would like all the users to be able to run SO. So I did all this as
root, which seems practically mandatory since I want to install it
in a directory tree that will not be world-writeable at least.

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1457 May  8  2000 setup
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       156044 May  8  2000 setup.bin

should be enough, right?

The first 3 steps <snipped for brevity> of client installation work
as Herouth describes (NB: the server and the client are the same
machine for me, I am just logged in as a regular user now), but
the welcome window simply informs me that SO is installed already
and does not offer me any installation options at all.

Obviously, I don't get to this stage... Thanks, anyway.
