Problems downloading the migration kit

I don’t really know where to post this, but it’s kind of a big problem
and I can’t figure it out. I’m trying to download the migration kit
guide to my newly installed QNX
6 partition. I’m downloading from:

http://qdn.qnx.com/download/migration/index.html.

I click on “Download Migration Guide” to a temp directory. Now I’m
trying to follow the instructions. When I attempt ‘cp -v
mig4nto.docs.tar.gz /usr/help/product’, I get the following error:
cp: Can’t open destination file.
(/usr/help/product//mig4nto.docs/tar.gz): No such file or directory.

I seems like a permissions error, but I’m running as root, and it seems
like I would have permissions to that directory…

Any ideas??? Thanks.

You cant write in /usr/help/product its virtual directory. From memory
that is a bug ;-(

You need to obtain a QNX6 “packaged” version of the kit. I do
not know where it is though or if one realy exists.

Any ideas??? Thanks.

Thank you, Mario.

That is kind of weird that the online instructions at qdn tell you to do that
cp…

I thought it did remember seeing the migration kit in a repository, but now I
cannot find it. Does anyone else know where it might be?
