To Copy One or More Files from a Diskette

It is safe practice to rename the original Trusted Solaris file before copying in a file to replace it. During installation, the root role renames and copies administrative files at admin_low.

1. Allocate the floppy device using the Device Allocation action and insert the diskette. Mount the device.

   Do you want floppy_n mounted: (y,n)? y

   For a fuller description, see "To Allocate a Device".

2. If the workstation has a file of the same name, copy it to a new name and remove the original.

   Note -

   Exception: If the file you are copying is to replace the current label_encodings file, do not rename or remove the original file. See "How To Install a Site-Specific Label Encodings File" for the full procedure.

3. Double-click the File Manager icon in the Front Panel and navigate to the desired destination directory, such as /etc/security/tsol.

4. Choose Open Floppy from the File menu.

5. Highlight the icon for the file and drag the file from the floppy disk folder to the destination directory.

6. On the floppy disk folder, chose Eject from the File menu.

7. If you copied a site version of the label encodings file, see "How To Install a Site-Specific Label Encodings File" for the full procedure.

8. Deallocate the device before continuing.

   This is described in "To Deallocate a Device".
