I suspect i'm having thye same problem as mentiond above, regarding installation. I have tried installing X-Plane (Default and Carrier) and everything seems fine untill step 4 (Unpack archive (this may take a while)) which doesnt finish. I've kept it running for aprox 30 min and after 5min it stops using considerable resources and i've cancelled the installation and tried over again with other versions.

I have not experienced that i cannot delete directories.

Is there a way i can see whats going on in xterm and I could post the output here?

Thanks
