warning and force the installation of the release supplement, enter "Y"
and press <Return>.
10. If you did not install Trusted NFS when originally loading your
SCO CMW+ 3.0.1 system, a message is displayed warning that if
you install TNFS at a later time, you will need to reinstall this
Release Supplement. Press <Return> to continue.
11. You are asked if you wish to save backup copies of the files replaced
by this Release Supplement. If you do, answer 'y' at the prompt.

hand corner of the screen.
13. The following prompt is displayed:
Insert: SCO CMW+ 3.0.1 Release Supplement 1

Ensure that the correct volume is still in the floppy drive and press

followed by:
Executing SCO CMW+ 3.0.1 Release Supplement 1 Init Script
The Init Script will display some progress messages.
The system's serial number will be displayed, and you will be prompted for
the activation key. Supply the same activation key that was used during
the original installation of this system.
The Init Script will then display more progress messages. Note that the
"Removing entries from perms lists . . ." phase may take several minutes
to complete.
17. You are then informed that the kernel must be relinked to enable parts of
this Release Supplement. To relink the kernel now, answer 'y'. To defer
the kernel relink, answer 'n'.
18. If you answered 'y', the kernel is relinked, and a message is
