When installing on UNIX® platforms, take care to preserve
proper case and permissions on files and directories, especially when you
move or copy files from a Windows® platform to a UNIX platform.
Scenario 1 : Windows to UNIX
Moving files and directories from Windows hosts to UNIX hosts can cause
file name and permission errors. File and directory case and permissions
are not maintained.
You can use a Windows machine as a mount point for the UNIX machine. To
do this:
- Create an ISO image from the CD using any CD burning software.
- FTP the .iso image to the UNIX machine.
- Use mount ./name.iso/mnt/cdrom -o loop.
- Use /mnt/cdrom as a mount point from which to run the
installation.
Scenario 2 : UNIX to UNIX
Moving files and directories from one UNIX host to another works
correctly.
To copy, use cp -rfd.
- The -r performs a recursive copy.
- The -f disables prompting.
- The -d maintains symlinks.
Note: If you tar the files, do not use the -y option.
