If your DVD drive has been set up for auto–mount, get the absolute path name for this device from the System Administrator, change to this directory, and skip to the procedure titled “Setting up the sybase account”. Otherwise follow these steps.
Log on as a user with root privileges.
Place the DVD into the DVD drive.
Create a subdirectory of the root directory where you will mount the DVD, if one does not already exist. For example:
% cd / % mkdir /dvd
If your system does not auto–mount, mount the DVD with a command like the following:
% mount –o ro –F hsfs device_name /dvd
where device_name is the name of the DVD drive and /dvd is the name of the directory where the DVD will be mounted.
Log out as root and type exit.
