swinstall to specific directpry

How can I use swinstall and have the sftwr install in a directpry of my choosing, instead of the directory it wants to default to. The installation does use a SETUP.sh script, and is using a swinstall statement in the script.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: swinstall to specific directpry

Mike, let me preface my remarks with this disclaimer -- I am not an expert on swinstall. That said, glancing at the man page for swinstall, it looks like you need to specify some alternate root directory when you run the install. The man states that no configuration is performed on software installed that way, so you will probably have to edit the configuration script and run it by hand afterwards.
