Building the EFS Diskettes
EFS diskettes can be built either from the Web or from a Compaq SmartStart
and Support Software CD.
■
To build the diskettes from the Web, download the latest EFS for SCO
OpenServer 5 from the site
www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/index.html
■
To build the diskettes from the SmartStart and Support Software CD:
1. Insert the Smart Start and Support Software CD (version 4.80 or later)
into the CD drive. This CD launches the application automatically.
2. At the System Utilities screen, click OK.
The Compaq SmartStart Diskette Builder Utility is launched.
3. Expand the Compaq Window and select Compaq SCO OpenServer 5.0
EFS Version 5.36 (or a later version) and continue to the next screen.
4. Chose the option Create Software Diskettes To Floppy Only and follow
the on-screen instructions.
A set of five diskettes will be created.
5. Select Finish when done and then exit from the application.
If your system has an older version of EFS installed, it must be removed
before installing the new EFS version. Follow the instructions in the next
section, Removing an Older Version of EFS.
If your system does not have another version of EFS installed, go directly to
the section Installing the New EFS.
