Preventing the Installer from Bypassing the Symbolic Link

1. Become a superuser (root) by typing:

   su Password: root-password

2. Save the existing symbolic link by typing:

   mv /opt/SUNWspro /mytemp

3. Make a new /opt/SUNWspro directory, which will serve as a mount point, by typing:

   mkdir /opt/SUNWspro

4. Mount the target directory so it is available as /opt/SUNWspro by typing:

   mount -F lofs localhost:/export/opt_SUNWspro /opt/SUNWspro

5. Install the product in the /opt directory.

6. Unmount the target directory by typing:

   umount /opt/SUNWspro

7. Remove the empty /opt/SUNWspro mount point by typing:

   rmdir /opt/SUNWspro

8. Restore the symbolic link that you moved in step 2:

   mv /mytemp /opt/SUNWspro

9. Exit from superuser privileges by typing:

   exit
