I've downloaded a driver.dd or driver.img file, what do I do with it?

From http://pcunix.com/SCOFAQ/scotec6.html#ddfile :

It's probably a floppy image. You can either put it on a floppy

dd if=driver.dd of=/dev/fd0135ds18 bs=18k


or, assuming this is something to be installed with "custom" on an OSR5 system:

mv driver.dd VOL.000.000


Then run "custom" (Or Scoadmin -> Sotware Manager) and tell it to install from "Media Images". Give it the directory where VOL.000.000 is, and it will install.

NOTE: that's ONLY true on OSR5- the 3.2v4.x versions require a floppy.
