Thanks for the input. I have a tar open because the install is not
completing. Initially I didn't see that directory and thought that it
could possibly have something to do with the failed install. I
cleaned it up and still had the same problems. You're probably
correct that it doesn't matter if you clean that directory or not.
Thanks again,
Scott
