HP-UX
The driver supports the SysKonnect SK-98xx family on HP-UX 11 systems. The driver pack-
age for HP-UX can be either installed using the administration/installation GUI or a shell com-
mand.
To perform the following tasks, you need “root” access.
Drivers downloaded from our web site are available in a packed format (.tar.gz files). The
downloaded package has to be unpacked before installation.
Unpack the driver To unpack the downloaded driver package, proceed as follows:
1. Go to the directory where the packed driver package “<package file>.tar.gz” is located.
2. Unpack the file with the following command:
gunzip <package file>.tar.gz
The unpacked file has the format “<package file>.tar”.
3. Untar this file with the following command:
tar -xf <package file>.tar
The result is the file “<package file>.depot” and the readme file in “.txt” and “.html” format.
The driver package is now ready to be installed.

tical (from step 3 onwards). In the following, the installation with “sam” is described.

1. After you have installed the adapter in your computer, boot the HP-UX system (for
