swinstall

Trying to install OB 4.10. I mount the CD and the file on the /cdrom mountpoint is:
/cdrom/OB2_A0~1.SD;1. I've tried:
# swinstall -s /cdrom/OB2_A0\~.SD\;1 to noavail.
What's the correct syntax?

Thanks,

..Joe

Unmount the CD.

Now remount it with:

# mount -F cdfs -r -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c?t?d0 /cdrom

Now do an 'ls' to see what the filename looks like. The ;1 at the end should be gone. Now try your swinstall again.

and a really nice man with pictures (don't get many of those)

man cdrom

Later,
