There is a known issue where Slackware distribution is not recognized by
installer JVM as Linux platform and as the result installer payload
files are not extracted into selected installation directory. The
workaround is to use zip archive GlassFish v3 distribution.
I'll try and dig up corresponding IssueTracker bug in a moment...

I've followed the installation guide to the T (accepting everything default, no registration at installation) but the installation fails because there is not much found in the glassfish3 folder. If I check I see a /var and an /updateman (or similar) but nothing else. no /bin no /etc or whatever the installer is looking for. The installation is quite fast (the progress bar really shoots from left to right).
