665300	Installer stops responding on some UNIX-like platforms – On some UNIX-like operating systems, a network resource may cause the installer to stop responding and return the error "syntax error near unexpected token 'fi'." The df command also stops responding in this situation. Workaround – Identify the network file system (NFS) mounts that may have problems: strace -e statfs, statfs64 df Use the umount command to unmount an identified NFS mount: umount -l <path> Repeat the above steps until there are no more NFS mounts that have stopped responding. Note: The umount command requires root permission. If umount unmounts the NFS, you may have to restart your machine.
653194	Installer shows Simplified Chinese as an option in Traditional Chinese environments – Even if the `LANG` environment variable is set to LANG=zh_HK.UTF-8 (Traditional Chinese), the installer does not support Traditional Chinese as an installation language. When prompting you for a language during IQ installation, the IQ installer provides Simplified Chinese (the default) and English as options. You may not want Simplified Chinese to appear as a language option. Workaround – Modify the `LANG` environment variable before starting the installer so that English is the only option. Either set "LANG=en" before invoking setup.bin, or invoke "setup.bin -l en". During installation, the IQ installer displays English as the only language option available.
