Hello.

I've got this:


drwxr-xr-x 12 root root       0 May 11 07:58 sys
drwxrwxrwt 25 root root   13312 Jun  2 14:46 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root    4096 May 12 05:33 usr
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root    4096 May 12 05:33 var


About manually... no :=)
I wish Ihave the knoeledge yet to do that 
manually installation.... in the shell.... not yet :(

I wanted to say that if I download the file to my 
hard disk and the truying to install from there, 
notthat the drupal site would connect to the site but uploading it...

By the way, teh file uploads to the /tmp sub 
directory, but from there can not be writte or 
installed, look , all are "solucion" user are the 
ones.., the size is the same because is the same file....
