Solaris

Pressy ,

since E3500 cant read the DVD (which hold the patches) , i FTP the patch cluster to the server then

bunzip2 10_RECOM.BZ2 ==> this is the command i use to unzip the file at 1st

the out put of the command is :

bunzip2: Can't guess original name for 10_RECOM.BZ2 -- using 10_RECOM.BZ2.out

and then

i find this file in the patches directory

-rw------- 1 root root 221167616 Feb 12 08:59 10_RECOM.BZ2.out


is this enough information ?





P.S. my X window client (Exceed) still cant detect my server

yes, i see, it seems that you downloaded that file with a windows client and windows "transforms" the name to a 8caracter.3fileinfo name. try to move your "10_RECOM.BZ2.out" to 10_Recommended.tar (should be a tar archive) and then use your tar command to extract the tarball.... (to test what type of file that out file is, you could use the "file" command)

regards P

thx pressy .. it seems like its working , i moved the file to 10_Recommended.tar .. and extracted it ..
i started installtion of the patches ..
ill wait and check if it finishes succsesfully , thx in advance

but if u can solve the exceed problem ill b thankful
