Start an interactif session of swinstall
choose Actions -> Change Source
change the Depot Type to : Network Dir/CDROM
fill in the hostname and change the
source to /where/it/is/depotname.depot

you must type the depotname.depot else
swinstall doen't work.

Good luck

Hi
Thanks for the reply i already have that version from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ but i have put it in /tmp/filetransfer/depot and ran
the command gz make-3.79.1-sd-11.00.depot.gz | tar xvf -

Which gives me two files a catalog and make but when i do swinstall -s /tmp/filetransfer/depot and enter the target source iget the following error message :

"saturn:/tmp/filetransfer/depot": can not establish a lock on target because of an external error"

Can you please advise as i have tried all what i know.

Regards
Simon

Well, you don't need to untar it, just gunzip it, then go into swinstall, change the source to tape, then type in the full file path to the depot file, mark it for install, then install it.
