Creating an SCO Release 3 Client Agent installation diskette

To create an installable floppy from the CD-ROM disk:

  1. On a UnixWare 7 system, insert the CD-ROM disk into the drive.

  2. Mount the CD-ROM drive:

    /usr/sbin/mount -rF cdfs /dev/cdrom/c0b0t#l0 /mnt

    where /mnt is the mount point directory and t# is the SCSI ID of the CD-ROM device. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is set to a SCSI ID of 5, you would specify /dev/cdrom/c0b0t5l0.

  3. Change to the directory containing the Client Agent image file:

    cd /mnt/arcagnts/sco3/image

  4. Insert a blank, formatted diskette into the mounted floppy drive.

  5. Create an installable Client Agent diskette from the uagent.dd file. At the command line, enter:

    dd if=uagent.dd of=/dev/install

    /dev/install is the default floppy drive on your system. If you want to use a different floppy drive, specify that device instead.

Once the install disk is created, you can use it to install the Client Agent file on each SCO Release 3 workstation that you want to access for backup, using the procedure described in ``Installing the SCO Release 3 Client Agent from floppy diskette''.
