Step 3. Choose the installation directory

Step 4. Configure Licensing. Select "Enter license information now.", Indicate that this is a "Network License", and Enter fireball.cae.wisc.edu as the license server.

Step 5. Restart your machine and start using Mathematica 6.0

• Installing Mathematica 6.0 on my Linux box and noticed some problems. Here is what I did to fix the problem:

The installer threw up an error and quit. The problem is some of the directories (in "Files") have files named contents.tgz instead of contents.tar.gz. For some reason the installer needs to see .tar.gz files. I copied the .tgz files to .tar.gz files and got rid of the error. Some directories have both .tgz and .tar.gz files; there is no difference between them, so I'm not sure why both are included.
