Welcome to Skunkware '97 for SVR5 based UnixWare

The following SCO Skunkware 97 components have been packaged for installation on the SVR5 based SCO UnixWare X.X (Gemini Beta) utilizing the pkgadd facility.

To install one of these packages, run the command (as root) :

    # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d <mount-point>/uw5/Packages/<package-name>.pkg all
where <package-name> refers to the NAME in the first column below and <mount-point> refers to the pathname of the CD-ROM mount point.

To install all of these components, or interactively choose which ones to install, run the command :

    # <mount-point>/INSTALL

           # gzcat /mnt/uw5/dist/foo.tar.gz | tar xvf -
           or
           # gzcat /mnt/uw5/dist/foo.cpio.gz | cpio -icdvu
