Software Installation

Note: About Open Source software.

This product includes two CD-RW application programs -

cdrecord

and

X-CD-Roast

- that provide additional capabilities and ease-of-use. These applications

will work

only on HP-UX 11.0 or 11i

. This software is

not a Hewlett-Packard product and there is

no support offered for these applications. Hewlett-Packard has evaluated these applications to con-

firm some basic functionality but not all features or capability offered by the applications are func-

tional on HP-UX (please refer to the tutorial file

USER_GUIDE.pdf

located on the CD-RW software

media). These applications are provided at no cost under the terms of a General Public License (GPL).

Additional information and the source code for these applications is available at the following loca-

tions:

•

X-CD-Roast:

There are other applications available that can perform similar tasks. These applications can be

found by searching the Web.

Installation Procedure

1.

Make sure the

PHKL_24282

/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /dev/dsk/<

cdrom id

> /depot/OpenSource

The software will be installed in

ware:

Quick Guide - How to Write a CD on an HP-UX System

The following instructions show you how to write an HP-UX file system (using ISO9660 conventions)

to a CD-RW disk and then take that disk to another HP-UX system and restore that file system.

Caution: CD writing is a real-time process which must run constantly at the selected

recording speed,

without interruption. Consequently, running other applications while

writing to the CD-RW can cause the operation to fail. It is highly recommended that you

DO NOT start or run any applications until the recording process is complete.
