Troubleshooting (top)
Not enough disk space to complete
installation:
If you run out of disk space during the download,
you will need to make some room on your disk and begin the installation
again.
Security warning:
Some Web browsers may ask you if you want to trust
the download, because the publisher cannot be determined. This message is
expected, as SGI has not registered with a certificate issuer as of the time
this distribution was created.
