To create a software distribution directory which contains some of the some of the products on the CD:
/usr
. If the directory dist
does not exist in /usr
, create it.
dist
and create a directory named desktop_special_ed_1.1
.
ls /CDROM/dist/*.idb
. The output will contain the list of names in the form prod.idb, where prod is the short name of the product. In this example, this command will list
items such as InPerson.idb
and outbox.idb
for the products InPerson and outbox. Products that begin with the name patch
are patches for the products on the CD. Please refer to the release notes
to determine whether the patches need to be installed.
distcp -n /CDROM/dist /usr/dist/desktop_special_ed_1.0
prod1* prod2* prod3* ... where prod1 prod2 prod3 are the short names of the products that you want in the software distribution
directory. Note that the names of the products are followed by an *
character. In this example, we only want the products InPerson and outbox for this software distribution directory.
The directory /usr/dist/desktop_special_ed_1.1
is now a Software Distribution Directory that contains the InPerson and
outbox products.
