Note – In the next step you will need to specify the mount point. If autofs is running, it might
have auto–mounted the drive partition to some other mount point. If this happens, unmount it
by entering the command:
umount /dev/sdX1
Mount the drive toa mount point by entering the command:
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdX1 /mnt
Where X is the drive letter for the USB ash drive (for example, /dev/sda or /dev/sdb), and 1
indicates the rst partition. For this example, the mount point is /mnt.
Extract the contents of theSIA-version.zip archive leto the USB ash drive by entering the
followingcommand:
# unzip -q -d /mnt ~/path/SIA-version.zip -x “source/*”
Where path represents the path to the directory where the .zip le is located, and version
represents the SIA version number. The “source/*” parameter excludes the source les from
the extraction to save time and disk space.
Unmount the USBash drive:
# umount /mnt
Removethe ash drive from client machine.
