See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 05 Feb 1995 00:00:01 EST Under IRIX 5.2 and earlier, you need to be clever. 'inst' guru Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> reveals all: - Find the subsystem in which the file lives, as described in the previous question. For this example we'll extract /sbin/ed, which lives in eoe1.sw.unix. - Follow the bouncing prompt: > su > cd /usr/tmp > mkdir -p tmproot/var/inst > inst -f /CDROM/dist/eoe1 -r /usr/tmp/tmproot > Inst> keep * > Inst> install eoe1.sw.unix > Inst> go > Inst> q > ls -l /usr/tmp/tmproot/sbin/ed -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 75480 May 24 13:57 /usr/tmp/tmproot/sbin/ed - Move your file somwhere else and 'rm -r /usr/tmp/tmproot'. - That was under IRIX 5.x. Under IRIX 4.0.x or earlier, use '/usr/tmp/tmproot/usr/lib/inst' for a temporary inst directory instead of '/usr/tmp/tmproot/var/inst'. In IRIX 5.3, inst's '-Y' flag allows you to install a single file. See inst(1M) for more.
