## How to Copy Files from the Tools and Drivers CD

Before You Begin

Obtain the following items:

- Linux server equipped with:

  - DVD drive

  - USB keyboard

  - Monitor

- SUSE or Red Hat Linux media set

- Tools and Drivers CD

1. If required, obtain a copy of the Tools and Drivers CD image.

   Go to http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4600 and select Downloads.

2. Insert the Tools and Drivers CD into the DHCP/PXE server.
3. Create a temporary directory to copy the PXE support files if `/tmp` does not exist. Type:

       # mkdir /tmp

4. Copy the files to the `/tmp` directory:

       # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
       # cp /mnt/cdrom/linux/pxe/name-pxefiles.tar.gz /tmp

   where name is `rhel4`, `rhel5`, `sles10` or `sles11`.

5. Uncompress and extract the contents of the tar file into the `/tmp` directory. Type:

       # cd /tmp
       # tar -zxvf name-pxefiles.tar.gz

   where name is `rhel4`, `rhel5`, `sles10` or `sles11`.

   When you extract the file, a directory with all required files will be created, for example, `/tmp/`name`-pxefiles/`
