Thanks for the suggestions - I had another look at the Adaptec site
and identified that there was a later version of the storage manager
and that installed without complaint. Followed by one more install due
to a thread exception (solved with a search on the web) it now works.
(Sorry to have wasted time - I could have got that installed first go
myself!)

Out of interest, I believe that "ln" tells Linux to use one file as
another (a link) but under what condition is it OK to make the link as
suggested?
