Installing SCO release supplement

I am a complete UNIX newbie (although trying desperately to learn) - I've tried to find the answer here and on the SCO support site but probably don't understand well enough to see that the answer is staring me in the face! So apologies if I am asking a question that has been asked a million times before.

I'm running SCO Openserver v 5.0.5. I'm trying to install a release supplement which I downloaded from the SCO site onto my windows machine, and then burnt onto a CD. When I select my CD drive in software manager I get an error message:

Scan of archive failed
Error opening archive "/"
Test of archive format failed
Can't access file "/tmp/mma000Qm/"
No such file of directory

I have looked in the filesystem manager and /tmp/mma000Qm appears to be the mount point for my cd drive (which I think is called /dev/cd0). I wondered if my CD drive was not mounted properly, so tried to unmount it, but got the message:

Error while unmounting /tmp/mma000Qm
General failure occurred in processing the request
The unmount action failed to unmount /tmp/mma000Qm
Unmount: could not unmount /tmp/mmq000Qm: No such file or directory (error 2)

So I'm not sure if the problem is with the files I have downloaded or if the CD drive is not mounted properly. I don't know how to browse to my CD drive - I tried cd /dev/cd0 but this isn't recognised as a directory.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be really great - have got my head into such a tangle now that I don't know where to go next (again, complete lack of knowledge about UNIX is probably at fault here!) Many thanks.

copyfs-mount

COPYFS-MOUNT(1) 						   User Commands						   COPYFS-MOUNT(1)

NAME

       copyfs-mount - mounts a versioned file system

SYNOPSIS

       copyfs-mount version-directory mount-point

DESCRIPTION

       This  script lets you mount a CopyFS file system. version-directory is the directory where the files and version information will be stored
       by CopyFS.

       When using CopyFS for the first time, copyfs-mount will create the required files in the version-directory  before  running  copyfs-daemon.
       mount-point is the directory where the copyfs file system will be mounted. This is where the users will have access to the files.

       If you want to mount a CopyFS at '/mnt/fs', whose version directory is at /var/versions, you would use:

	    root@host# copyfs-mount /var/versions /mnt/fs

       To unmount it, simply do:

	    root@host# umount /mnt/fs

       As you would do for any other filesystem.

       You  can also allow an ordinary non-root users to mount and unmount CopyFS filesystems provided that the user is added to the 'fuse' group.
       Ordinary users will be able unmount the filesystem, using the fusermount command:

	    $ fusermount -u mount-point
