Re: Alpha install failures

Thanks Jonas, that worked!

I got a different error, which I fixed with: *ln -s
/Programs/Installer/Current/Shared/Installer /System/Links/Shared/Installer*
This got me to the installer. I went through the installer and clicked
"Done," which led to a wall of errors. Failed to run command 'rm': No such
file or directory, failed to run command 'find', failed to run 'ldconfig',
etc... all for the same reason.
