Thanks for all the input.

I found the problem with my installation. I unzipped and burned the CD on a win-nt box.
Since Linux can read FAT, I didn't thinks this would be a problem. It was. The resulting shell files had an incorrect EOL character. The easiest fix was to ftp the tgz file
to the Linux box and then unpack and install right from the Linux hard drive.

I'm having other problems. Segmentation Error every time I try to start svrmgrl. I've installed
the compatibility packages, and ran the patch. The patch complained about ld-linux.so.2
missing from the i386.glibc directories. Does anyone know if setting up a pointer to this
file in the i586 glibc library would work?

It's nice to know that someone out there has it running on 6.1 That way I know it works.
I'll get it running eventually.
