Marco, You may have the same problem that i had initially. I downloaded the file ftp from an the au. mirror and it would not run.
Then via netscape from Sun (after about four retrys and overwrites 'cos I am on a 33K dialup, finally it took eleven hours from 1am ;-(( ) and the file sizes were different. The one I have that works is so-5_2-ga-linux-en.bin 95333K the dud is ditto 100213K just tried it again from an xterm and the install page has come up. All i did was make it executable and run it as root. Select the net option when it asks .
