Hi Ron,
When you get sent back to the following menu:
1. Select distribution medium [ install from tar-file ]
2. Select source device [ device: ../DARWIN_MAC ]
3. Select installation type [ ? ]
4. Show installation configuration
5. Perform installation
6. Help
0. Return to previous menu
You want to select option "5" to perform the installation. I can see
how the instructions are confusing on this, and I will try to make
them more clear.
