Example--Accessing CDs on Other Systems

The name of this release is Solaris 7 but code and path or package path names may use Solaris 2.7 or SunOS 5.7. Always follow the code or path as it is written.

This example mounts the CD named Solaris_2.7_sparc from the remote system mars onto the /cdrom directory of the local system.

$ cd /net/mars
$ ls /cdrom
cdrom0     Solaris_2.7_sparc
$ su
Password: password
# mount -F nfs ro mars:/cdrom/Solaris_2.7_sparc /cdrom
# exit
$ ls /cdrom
Solaris_2.7_sparc
