     The error is not minor although easily fixed and the installation
did not go all the way to the end.  Perhaps you stopped it when asked
a password (would occur only if you had a previous version
installed).

    This suggests that the file $AIPS_ROOT/DA00/DADEVS.LIST mentions
many disks that are either actually unavailable or which do not have a
rw 0-byte file named SPACE in them.

    The result of the error above.
\

To fix:

cd $AIPS_ROOT
source LOGIN.CSH     (or for bash  . LOGIN.SH)
$CDTST
RUN FILAIP            password if asked AMANAGER
35  -100              "# disks/ CA size use these numbers
6   2                 "# POPS and batch queues"  these ok
35                    "tapes"  not important the value

RUN POPSGN
0 POPSDAT TST
x=0                   or just a plane carriage return will do
