Yes, one more of the multiple names that people called Oberon in its
nth reincarnation! :-D
The installation instructions under "JKU Linz, J.L. Marais" link are
for the V4 Oberon (also called Linz Oberon, ha!).
Correct installations instructions that I know of for several versions:
Here you have a copy of the old ftp site at ETH, that is no longer
online as many of us already know, really sad:

Even the mirror I copied from is not accessible anymore.

Those lines are fine for V4.

Images from Oberon V4 and System 3 (so called ETH Oberon)
both under Windows or Linux to check the difference, could be of help
to put in the variants, I thought.

I test the links, despite being ftp, not opened in modern browsers,
but tested with an ftp app, and all work fine.
