"root@ubuntu:/tmp# install zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN -t /tmp /etc
install: omitting directory `zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN'
install: omitting directory `/etc'
root@ubuntu:/tmp#"

What does all that mean?
---------
The directions for my install say:

" Download the appropriate package for your Ubuntu installation (32 or 64 bit Ubuntu 8.04 LTS), copy it into your choice directory (I prefer /temp because /tmp is volatile and clears out every reboot), change to that directory, and type

tar -xzf zc*

and it'll create a whole directory /temp/zcs with lots of files inside it. Then:

cd /temp/zcs
./install.sh"

This is WRONG as far as I can tell.

#1 It does not create any such directory named "zcs."
#2 ./install.sh does nothing.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks. I got it from zimbra for email. The instructions on their site are not clear so I fought with it for 4 hours. Prolly cuz I am such a newb as well. It created a directory with the same exact name of the tar file which threw me way off.

So, is the file the actual application? Or is that an add-on or something like that?

The file is the actual application and when you run that command it makes a directory with the same exact name as the file...it confused the $%^& out of me at first.
