Welcome to Skunkware for the SVR5 based UnixWare 7

The following SCO Skunkware components have been packaged for installation on the SVR5 based SCO UnixWare 7 (codename "Gemini") utilizing the pkgadd facility.

To install one of these packages, run the command (as root) :

    # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d <mount-point>/uw7/Packages/<package-name>.pkg all

where <package-name> refers to the NAME in the first column below and <mount-point> refers to the pathname of the CD-ROM mount point.

To install all of these components, or interactively choose which ones to install, run the command :

    # <mount-point>/INSTALL
