downloading software

I'm trying to install some software that i've downloaded from the HP website, when I mount the cd and LS the disc it says the name is CVSDM_11_DEP;1 when I try to swinstall it, the system says no depot software is on the CD. If I look at the downloaded name it says cvsdm_11_11_v10600.depot. Any ideas please.

Regards Tony

Can you cd into the disk and ls it?
It could be a problem with how you burned it to disk or you simply may need to give it the full path to the depot in your swinstall command.

how did you put the depot on a cd? You probably just need to use the right mounting options.

It would be faster to just copy the file (cvsdm_11_11_v10600.depot) to the HP server and swinstall it.

Hi,

copy this file from /cd to /var/tmp driectory
and change his name.

cp /cd/CVS* /var/tmp/cvsdm_11_11_v10600.depot
and install
swinstall -s /var/tmp/cvsdm_11_11_v10600.depot

If this will not work you can always transfer this file by ftp from your desktop.

Correct
Better copy the file in to /var/tmp and try installing from there.This seems to be problem with CD only.

Copying to /var/tmp worked a treat.
