Step 3: Insert the protocol or toolkit distribution media into the appropriate drive.
For CD-ROM distributions, follow the instructions in Section 2.2.2.1. For
tar format
distributions, follow the instructions in Section 2.2.2.2. For
cpio format distributions,
follow the instructions in Section 2.2.2.3. Insert the server/client distribution media and
retrieve the files in the same manner. If you have purchased the optional Server Toolkit
product, insert the Server Toolkit distribution media and again retrieve the files in the
same manner. The files will be copied from the distribution media into a directory
called
freeway.
2.2.2.1 CD-ROM Distributions
Insert the CD into the drive. Open the readme.txt file on the CD-ROM and follow the
instructions.
2.2.2.2 TAR Format Distributions
If the files on your distribution media are in tar format, use the tar x command to
retrieve them. You might want to include the
v option to display the file names as they
are extracted. Some systems require that you use the
f option to identify the peripheral
device being used.
Here are two examples of the
tar command (the device name on your system might be
different):
tar xv
tar xvf /dev/rst0
The tar command creates a directory called freeway in the /usr/local directory and copies
the software into it from the distribution media.
Go to Section 2.2.8 for the next step in the installation procedure.
