Installation problem - Win95

[Charles Staelin]

Marcus and Paul,

Thank you for your suggestions.  I had eliminated an
alternate declaration of HOME, wondering if that might be
the problem, but I still came up with the error.  As it
turned out, however, the problem seems to have been with my
network connection, although I can't really figure out why
that should have been.  We recently upgraded to the newest
version of Novell NetWare and in casting around for anything
that might be affecting the install I rebooted the machine
independent of the network.  The install then worked
beautifully.

That, however, leads me to another question.

I have had HOME set to "c:\usr\home".  My .emacs and .bashrc
files are located there.  Swarm, on the other hand, sets
HOME to Swarm-2.0.1 and puts its own .emacs and .bash-login
there.  Since I have customized my own versions of these
files and I have put various files in the \usr\home tree,
I'd like to keep HOME set to c:\usr\home.  Will this have
any adverse affects in running Swarm?  I assume that I can
chain to the Swarm defined .bash-login and .emacs files from
my own.

Thanks for the help.

Charles
