Installing Your Software

Prepare the installation media

Check the release announcement to find out on what media the installers are available.

Major releases are distributed on a USB device. To mount a USB device:

■ Attach the device. Log in to the terminal as root. On Red Hat 6, change directory to the USB mount point

at /media/AUTODESK/. If you're using Red Hat 5, continue with the following steps.

■ Use the dmesg command to output something like sdf: sdf1 to list a recent device connected. Or list

the devices attached to your system with the command: fdisk -l | grep "/dev/sd". The device assigned

to the USB device should look similar to /dev/sds or /dev/sde

■ On a fresh Red Hat 5 installation, automount is enabled , but execution from the device is disabled. So

you must unmount the USB drive with eject /<mountpoint> or eject /dev/<device id>.

■ Create a mount point directory for the disk with mkdir /mnt/usbdisk.

■ Mount the device mount -o shortname=winnt /dev/<device>1 /mnt/usbdisk. Or from the GUI browse

to /dev, right-click the USB device, and choose Mount.

Software is sometimes distributed as tar files. To extract from a tar file:

1 In a terminal, as root, use the md5sum command to verifty the checksum matches the md5sum listed

in the checksum file.

2 Extract the from the tar archive with tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz.
