****************************************************************
In the 4.0.1 base installation on HP-UX, the installation of
the product fails because WAS thinks thereis not enough space
on a mount point when in fact there is plenty of space.
The circumvention is to disable disk space:
 * Modify the prereq.properties file to set the
   "space_check=1" to look like "space_check=0"
   prior to install.
This problem exists when trying to install on mount points.
Apparently the space checker is checking space at the
root even though the volumes are displayed for selection
in the GUI of the base install.

The workaround remains for 4.0.1.  The base install code will
not be fixed and shipped for 4.0.1.  The defect has been
assigned to development to address in the next full product
install when and if that happens.  Therefore, closing this
APAR FIN.
