Holy Crap Batman!

After a couple of hours trying to get the IDS (Informix Dynamic Server) initialized, reinstalling because I was SURE I'd missed something when the 'Custom Install' option never appeared, I finally realized that the installation wizard was not liking it that I was installing from a network share. I copied the install tarball to my home directory, then ran it again. The 'Custom' option was there for the IDS 11.1 this time! I went ahead and installed the Demo database. I figure that I can edit the onconfig.std file from it rather than creating a new one from scratch. Long story slightly less long: the Informix engine is up and running.

I'll do some testing and whatnot before I go edit the onconfig.std.
