I wasn't sure where ot find install-info, so I went to
/usr/obj/usr/src/.. and did a 'find . -name install-info -print', and it
found one:
atelier# cd /usr/obj
atelier# cd usr/src/
atelier# find . -name install-info
./tmp/usr/bin/install-info
And copied that in place (thinking your logic above), and that didn't
work...this was before emailing the list, which was before the reminder
about -k
