Appendix A: Package Specific Installation Instruction


        This update is packaged as a self-extracting PackageForTheWeb (PFTW)
        executable file. To unpack, this update requires that your TEMP
        environment variable be set to a path with read/write access. You must
        be logged in as an administrator.
       
   The package update log, ux.log, is created on the system drive.   
   To locate the log file go to:  %SystemDrive%\uxlog\ux.log

        The command-line syntax for PackageForTheWeb firmware update package is:
       
   Package.exe [-s] [-a [-s] | [-r] | [-c] | [-x directory] | [-xd] | [-w]
         | [-?] ]

        [-s] This command installs the Package-For-The-Web software silently and
        does not prompt if files are to be over-written in the %temp% directory.
         
        [-a] This command passes all subsequent commands to the PFTW software to
        install the update package.
       
        [-s] This command runs a silent and unattended update.  For firmware
        updates, the update is scheduled to run on thbe next reboot. An immediate
        reboot can be forced with the -r option.

        [-r] This command schedules the update and reboot immediately. It can
        be used with or without the -s command.

        [-c] This command cancels any scheduled firmware update and records
        results of this operation in the log file. Only one firmware package
        can be scheduled at a time, if a firmware update needs to be applied
        instead of the currently scheduled firmware update package, cancel the
        current (run with the -c option on any firmware package) package. 
        Then, run the applicable firmware package.

        [-x directory] This command is used with firmware updates to extract the
        update to the directory named directory. The PackageForTheWeb executable
        extracts itself to a subdirectory in the %TEMP% directory, a relative
        directory will be relative to that location. You must specify an
        absolute directory if you do not want to use the default directory.

        [-xd] This command is used with firmware updates to extract to a floppy
        diskette.  The floppy diskette can then be used to boot from and apply
        the update.  This option is not available for all firmware updates,
        such as tape drive and hard-disk drive updates.
       
   [-w] PowerQuest Virtual Boot Environment requires that there are 2 free
        sectors on the first track before it can schedule a firmware update.
        Use this option only if scheduling an update failed because 2 free
        sectors were not available on the first track. This option clears the
        non-boot and the non-partition information sectors on the first track.
        Typically, these sectors are not used. Before clearing the sectors a
        copy of the complete first track is saved in the %temp% directory from
        which the update runs.         
         
        [-?] This command displays information about the command line switches.
        The command line switches -s, -r -c and -e are unnattended.  Other
        command line options such as display help (-?) might require that you
        hit any key to continue.


        If Windows packages are run without any command line options, a GUI is
        displayed.  This GUI offers all of the options that are available
        using the command line.
               
       

Appendix A: Package Specific Installation Instruction


   This update is packaged as a self extracting shell script. To update
   your system, just execute the package with the appropriate options.
   You must be logged on as root, and the package must be run from an
   ext2/ext3 filesystem.

Usage is as follows:

 packagename.sh [-?] | [-r] | [-s] | [-xd [device]] | [-x dirname] | [-w]


  -?       Shows the command line help

  -r      Install the package and reboot immediately

  -s      Silent/unattented install

  -xd [device]   Extracts contents to floppy disk(s)
                If device is not specified, floppy device /dev/fd0 is taken as the default.

  -x dirname   Extracts contents to directory specified

  -w      Save track0 to track01.sav and wipe boot sector (assumes -r)
      UpdateXpress packages use a portion of track0 of the first
      logical hard drive to store boot information for
      the virtual floppy environment. Normally, the only data
      contained on this track is the master boot record (MBR).
      Occasionally, updates will fail if there is no room to store
      the boot information on track0. If the update fails, execute
      the package with the -s -w options. This will erase track0
      of the hard drive while preserving the MBR; install the
      virtual floppy on the drive, and then reboot the system to
      perform the update. The data contained in track0 is backed
      up in a file named track0.sav

   Please Note:

   The package update for Linux ONLY supports ext2/ext3 filesystems!
