CAUTION

We strongly recommend that you install to the default /usr directory.
However, if you choose to install to a different directory, please keep the
following cautions in mind:

First, use care when typing in the directory name Ñ if you mistype the
name, the install will still create the directory for you, and your files may
end up in an unexpected location; if you leave a space at the end of the path
you specify, the install will succeed, but this kind of directory name is not
recommended. If you choose to install to a path other than the default

/usr

,

we recommend that you first create the directory, then use the Browse
button to select it in this window.

Second, remember that if you install to a directory other than

/usr

, the

install routine will automatically attempt to create a link from the ctron
directory within the directory you specified to

/usr/ctron

. If there is

already a file, directory, or link named

/usr/ctron

, you will receive a

warning message (see

Figure 2-4

) at the end of the install process indicating

that the link could not be created. If you receive this warning, you must first
either remove or rename the existing

/usr/ctron

, then manually make

the link by typing the following command from the command line:

ln -s /ctron /usr/ctron

Figure 2-4. Sample Warning Message

For example, if you choose to install to

/data

instead of the default

/usr

directory, the following link must be created either by the install process or
manually after installation:

ln -s /data/ctron /usr/ctron
