4.1 Preparing for Software Installation
Before loading the SunFastEthernet software:
• Ensure that the system is running SunOS Version 4.1.3_U1 or 4.1.4. Use the
uname command with the -r argument to determine your SunOS version as
shown in the following example:
•
Verify that the /export/exec directory contains a symbolic link from
/export/exec/sun4 to the /usr directory on your machine. The link
allows the script to place the SunFastEthernet Adapter files in your /usr
rather than your /(root) partition.
• To confirm the existence of the link in the /export/exec directory, use the
commands shown in the following example:
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:
• You need approximately 500 Kbytes 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 .
