It tries to address all of the installation issues. With luck this
is nearly the final version for isntallation issues.
Related to installation, please take a look at lab - Application
Distribution - Installer as it has improved and reflects the new J
installations.
Looks pretty good - but I have two issues. One is that the
new profile.ijs and profilex_template.ijs seem not to have
made it into j602cbeta_linux32.sh
On a similar/related note, the idea of leaving old documents
in place during an install (e.g. profilex.ijs) is a good one,
but doesn't work in the case of OS X install were the process
is to drop the j602 folder into where the old one was - which
does remove/replace everything in the existing folder. I think
if you want to be fancier, you are into install scripts, and
that, IMHO, isn't worth the gain - but a warning is in order.
One other quibble. The help files still say J601 on the front
page. Great improvement over the past!! Thanks!
