Copy files from CD and Unzip

Hi,

I've just installed solaris 9 onto a SPARC box and am connecting to the machine via a console cable using hyper terminal. Unfortunately i have not got a monitor so i'm having to do all my config using the command line (which i'm no good at)

I'm trying to copy a patch cluster (ZIP) file off of my CD in the CDROM drive to the local machine, where i can unzip and install.

Can anyone tell me how to cd into the CDROM drive, copy across the file and unzip it???

I'm really stuck!!

Many Thanks,

Andy

# cd /cdrom
#ls

Look for your file - if you don't see it, try the find command
# find ./ -name "name of your file"

Once you know where it is, copy it to another partition (/tmp is given as an example).

# cp myfile /tmp
# cd /tmp
# unzip myfile
