Hi Roy,

You have mounted the DVD using the normal mount option and therefore cant see the contents properly. You need to mount the DVD using the pfs_mount option after which you will be able to copy the file across.
Have a look at the man pages of pfs_mount.
Run pfs_mountd and pfsd in nohup first.

You have mounted it wrong. But if you don't care, you can just do:
cp "HPUX__11_11_06040835.ZIP;1" /opt/HPUX__11_11_06040835.zip

See these threads about mounting:

>Rajeev: Run pfs_mountd

I believe the forum consensus is don't even think of using pfs_mountd.

>we dont have unzip command

Have you tried gunzip? It says it handles only one file in a .zip file.
