Installing SCO UnixWare drivers using command line

Before commencing software installation, you will need to create a diskette using the
'diskette image' supplied on the CD supplied with this product. How to use this CD-ROM
When you have created the installation diskette, proceed as follows:

1. Log in as root.

2. Insert the created installation diskette.

3. Run pkgadd to install the package.

pkgadd -d diskette1 comf

4. When prompted, give the total number of PCI-FAST and AT-FAST you want to install at

this time (cards can be added later).

AT-FAST cards. If you are installing PCI-FAST cards only, go to step

range to use with AT-FAST cards, it is advisable to run the scansd utility.
