Duplicating the Distribution Diskettes
The vibration application executable files are distributed
on floppy diskettes. To prevent loss of the information if these
diskettes are damaged at a later time, you may wish to make copies
of these diskettes when you receive them. This procedure is for
Solaris 2.5 systems.
- Formatting a DOS formatted diskette or an unformatted
diskette into a UNIX formatted diskette:
- Insert the diskette into the floppy drive slot.
- Open an 'Xterm' window by positioning the mouse
pointer on the blue background, clicking the right mouse button and
then clicking the left mouse button on the 'Xterm' selection.
- Inside the Xterm window, enter the following commands.
% su
Password: *******
# fdformat -fHU
# newfs -m 0 /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0
y
# eject
#
- Remove the newly formatted blank diskette.
- Duplicating the diskette:
- Insert the SOURCE diskette into the floppy drive slot
- Open an 'Xterm' window by positioning the mouse
pointer on the blue background, clicking the right mouse button and
then clicking the left mouse button on the 'Xterm' selection.
- Inside the Xterm window, enter the following commands.
% su
Password: *******
# mkdir temp
# volcheck
# cp /floppy/floppy0/.* temp
# cp -r /floppy/floppy0/* temp
# eject
#
- Remove the SOURCE diskette from the floppy drive slot.
- Insert the formatted blank DESTINATION diskette into the floppy
drive slot.
- Inside the same Xterm window, enter the following commands:
# volcheck
# cp temp/.* /floppy/floppy0
# cp -r temp/* /floppy/floppy0
# eject
# rm -rf temp
#
- Remove the diskette containing the new application executable files.
