- The problem is.. it WON'T let me install the new docs... it checks the Folder,
-
- sees it is Read-Only, and pops up one of those great 1-choice error panels
-
- telling me that there were errors during the instalation, check the log :(
- Any other hints? The folder NextLibrary/Documentation is linked right to the
- CD, so I can't really add a NextLibrary/Documentation/AppleTalk folder :(
