Method 1: Installing from floppy diskette

To create an installation floppy and then install the Silicon Graphics IRIX Client Agent from the new disk:
  1. On an SCO Unixware 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/irix/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.

  6. Log in to the desired Indy series workstation as root.

  7. Insert the Client Agent diskette into the workstation's mounted floppy drive.

  8. Run the inst utility:

    inst -a -f /mnt -I UAGENT -r /

    where /mnt is the mount point of the floppy drive.
