Installer issues

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.

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.
