You're installing from a floppy drive?  Do you actually have one?

Hi ,

This is not a floppy drive. Initially I thought this is somthing to do with FD.

This is needed to run scripts in solaries systems.

Please see the url

Issue is very strange and finally we were able to fix the issue.  It is look like permission issue but not sure.

installation files all had the permissions:

-rwsrwsrwst

The owner and group were set to numbers.

workaround

Changed into the directory containing the installation files and changed the permissions to be rwxr--r-- and owners by root.

chmod -R 744 .

chown -R root
