This is known to work on some systems and not others, it may be different
revs of the Sun (actually a Sony) drive though.

It is in EFS format, as are all of our installable CD's so far.
There was a program posted here called efslook, which could be
compiled on Sun's (at least) if you copied some SGI header files
there, and you could then extract the files in a manner similar
to the mtools DOS stuff into a directory.  Then you can do a normal
remote directory install.

If  you can't find efslook, I'm sure the author (not at SGI) wouldn't
mind if I repost it.

Yep, bring up sash, and copy partition *7* (not the whole thing).
7 is the file system partition our installable CD's.

Assuming CD at ID #4, and spare partition 7 on drive 5), do 

	cp -b 31k dksc(0,4,7) dksc(0,5,7)
