No access to `/usr/cygnus'

If you can't sign on to an account with access to write in `/usr' or `/usr/cygnus', use the `-installdir=directory' option to Install to specify a different installation directory to which you can write. For example, if all the other installation defaults are right, you can execute something like `./Install -tape=/dev/tape -installdir=mydir'. You'll need to either override default paths for the pre-compiled tools, or else recompile the software. See section Running the programs, and section Links for easy access and updating, for details.

WARNING: If you can't install in `/usr/cygnus' (or link your installation directory to that name), some of the defaults configured into the progressive-95q4 distribution won't work. See section Running the programs, for information on overriding or reconfiguring these defaults.
