You've got to bunzip2 the compressed ISO image, mount it, and install it using replica/pull. term% bunzip2 < /n/sources/extra/tex.iso.bz2 > /someplace/big/tex.iso term% 9660srv term% mount /srv/9660 /n/dist /someplace/big/tex.iso The install files will then be under /n/dist. You probably need to do something like run a script to touch the replica db and log files, and then run pull. There's usually a README file inside the ISO that gives you exact instructions. If you're installing into a KFS, you shouldn't have any problems. If you're installing onto a fileserver, you'll need to modify the replica configuration file. That's the sort of thing I want /dist/replica/site for to be included in replica config files for. - Dan C.
