The corrective service files in this directory are of the form Uxxxxxx.tar.Z This means that they are compressed and tar'ed. To use these files, perform the following steps: 1) download the file to directory /var/spool/sw in binary mode 2) uncompress Uxxxxxx.tar.Z 3) tar -xvf Uxxxxxx.tar Now you will need to use swinstall to install the resulting output file, which is in the form hp-Uxxxxxx.v10 The easiest way to do this is to use the GUI front-end to swinstall, and in the box which says 'source depot path', put the path and file name, i.e. /var/spool/sw/hp-Uxxxxxx.v10
