Thanks

There's an install pdf on IBM's website.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/25119170.pdf

I had to do a couple of things for Fedora 5 to get the installation to work:

ln -s /bin/zcat /bin/uncompress

You uncompress the tarball, and run the command

cpio -ivcBdum uv.load < /mnt/STARTUP
This will give you an install script.

I had to substitute the directory where I unzipped the files
Like this:
cpio -ivcBdum uv.load < /tmp/uv.tmp/STARTUP

The you have to change the default location where the compressed files
are in options 4 and 5 to wherever you unzipped the files to.

The current settings of the available options are:
UniVerse installer : root
UniVerse administrator : root uid=0 gid=0
1) UniVerse home directory: /usr/ibm/uv
(currently: Not Installed.)
2) UniVerse-UniData shared directory: /usr/ibm/unishared
(currently: Not Installed.)
3) Compile terminfo definitions: true
4) Rewind tape name /dev/rmt/0m
5) No-rewind tape name /dev/rmt/0mn
6) Long File Names OFF
Enter a field number to change, q to abort installation,

I change mine to /tmp/uv.tmp for 4 and 5.

More software should come with REAM'D documentation.
