To confirm the existence of the link in the /export/exec directory, use the
commands shown in the following example:
hostname # cd /export/exec
hostname # ls -l sun4
lrwxrwxrwx l root 4 Apr 9 03:27 sun4 -> /usr
The example response from command ls -l shows that the sun4 and /usr
directories are symbolically linked. If the link does not exist, create one while
still in the directory /export/exec, by entering the ln -s command as shown in the
following example:
hostname # ln -s /usr sun4
•
You need approximately 500kbytes of free space in the destination partition.
You can check the amount of free space by using the df command in the
directory /export/exec/sun4.
If the CD-ROM player that you are using for software installation is attached to
a remote machine, refer to your SunOS installation guide for remote CD-ROM
access and proceed with the installation procedures that follow.
When installing the SunFastEthernet software from a CD-ROM, you can use
the cdm program. The cdm program has a command-line interface that allows
you to install applications directly onto a machine that does not have a bit-
mapped display. The following text presents instructions for cdm.
