I'm still stumpted!
I used dss6.0up03_beta.oe_i.tar, and tried "Run software installer" and "64-bit..." menu options, and still the same - the "Loading..." msg, then a hash ('#') prompt. I can do an 'ls' and there's a bunch of directories, & if I was a Linux wiz, I could probably run the DSS application, but I'm not, so I can't!
The joys of beta testing! Any suggestions? I guess I can find another server to try on.
Cheers.
