The only reason i did an ls was because i was getting errors that a
certain installation program was un-executable, it was located in
/usr/sbin.. I found this out because tty2 displayed the errors during the
initial installation... doing an ls on /usr produed bin, and etc and lib i
think but no sbin and it also produced a seg fault... I've decided I should
probably try and upgrade the SRM, seeing as it is v4.3 i think.. I've never
used an alpha before, nor do I know anything about them, so this whole thing
is off the wall to me :)
