| 
| 1. Trying to intall the ODT TCP-RT package generates a tar
|    extract failure on 4 files from floppy 12. If I let it 
|    continue it moves on to floppy 13. Floppy 13 completes
|    and it asks for the UB1 disk. Upon inserting this
|    in the drive and pressing return the system
|    responds "incorrect volume in drive". All stops
|    at this point. Is the tar failure on disk 12
|    causing this problem? Selection of individual
|    files and services from custom yields similar results to
|    a full installation of the package.

Try removing the file /etc/perms/tcprt and re-installing.  This is
a known problem with the TCP Runtime component.

| 2. I have installed the ODT development system 1.0.1
|    TCP package. However the library /usr/lib/libsocket.a
|    is not useable. "nm" cannot read its symbol table
|    and "file" reports it a "data file". I know the
|    file is good since I have tried two different sets of installation
|    disks. This seems like a perms problem.

Sounds like it hasn't been serialized.  Run, as root, the command
"serialize /etc/perms/tcpdev" from the root directory.  You should
be prompted for the Open Desktop Dev. Sys. serial number and
activation key.  Enter these, and everything should be fine.
