[LUAU] Caldera Openlinux lite 2.2 problems

Well, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone at Caldera even attempted to
install what they have offered on their ftp site.  From what I've
discovered so far, the installation script is flawed.

It somehow attempts to parse, via sed, the /proc/mount special file
(which lists devices mounted and what directory mounted, as well as
filesystem type, additional options, etc).  From what I've tested, sed
refuses to parse /proc/mounts at all.  So guess what?  The installation
script generates a failure message and dumps you to a root shell.

I've already sent mail to the Caldera-Users mailing list, but I haven't
yet gotten a subscription reply from majordomo yet...so I assume my
message will bounce.  At any rate, OpenLinux Lite 2.2 in its current
incarnation does not work.
