don't let you become root or make the installation ?

the directory /usr/local already exist ? it could be that it try to create an already existing direccory ?

anyway, I don't really uindestand but you could make the installation from a console, login as root (try just hit CTRl-ALT-F3 to have a console and when you have finishe CTRL-ALT-F7 to go back to the X server) and lanuch the unix_install script

I hope it could be usefull

You'll need to run the install-script on the CD from the same console window that you just called "su" in. The super-user command (su) only affects the console you call it in - not the whole desktop.
