All patches must be in this directory.

I added a 4GB swap file and intalled JES. The install of JES was so rediculously painful I cannnot possibly paste it on this site. An hour of answering questions! I already know I'm going to FLUNK this garbage.

And for the punchline. The installer drove the load up to 4 and sat for hours. I put the lid down on my notebook and walked away. I'll try again on a year old PC with 3GB of ram next week.

Painful.

Can anyone release a collaboration system which does not have 2GB of dependencies?
