Help with installing file
I'm new to this. Need to install a package, but it's currently in this format:

devices.pci.df1080f9.5.1.0.0.I



How do I go about this?

Rusty but
I have been away from the OS for a while but in the directory where the file resided try typing:
inutoc .
smitty update_all or smitty install and point the installation to this directory. If you start smitty from the directory just a dot will suffice. Like I said, I have been off the OS for a while so I am reaching for memories.

Looks good to me scotbuff.
Create the toc (table of contents) file and then install with smit / smitty.

my guess:

browse to the directory
"inutoc ."
"installp -ac -d. -Y -g devices.pci.df1080f9"

and off you go
