ok so after I sent this email I decided I would run the db2setup gui
again after I ran the db2_install from the cli
it has given the option to create the instance users groups catalog the
toolsdb etc.
now it is asking for the informix slient installation directory and
informix server.
what information is needed there
Thanks in Advance
