OK, sorry, but I took a bit too long for me to understand, but now it's clear.
Sorry!

Hmm, but reading the follow-ups to the bug report gives somewhere
"Definitely. These problems installing from hard disk should be fixed
in 3.0.20 (or current cvs)."

Anyway, as it has already worked once, it doesn't seem to be an everlasting
ptoblem, I will try it again later. But not now, now I also have to learn
something...

I am using, like most of the others, the AmigaOS3.9 Unarc system with the
respective unpackers.

Thank you!! Now it's working apart from the files which occure double (due to
that AmigaOS is not case sensitive).

Thanks again for answering all my questions, and, as I said, I will try
installation again later, bye,
