The only reason I mention this is that we did make some effort to make
sure CSuite didn't bug out when dealing with the many different little
idiosyncrasies of the /etc/group file.  For one reason or another, I had
the line:
nogroup:*:65534

in my groups file.  The build stage of the install took exception to this
and died, (interestingly enough, you still get the "Process Complete"
messsage. :) )  The line in /etc/group should read:
nogroup:*:65534:

It seems to like it just fine now,

PS. A 386 w/ 8Mb of ram is a slow system to install CSuite on. :)
