Here are some clues: You can get a directory of the CD by mounting it and typing: $ DIR DKAxxx:[000000] (note that is six zeros) You can leave off the zeros when you find a directory, ie : $DIR DKAxxx:[TCPIP_VAX050] If you find a directory full of savesets (they will be named "foo.A foo.B foo.C etc") then you can install them with: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL foo [directory spec where the save sets are] So for TCPIP it is $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL TCPIP_VAX050 DKA400:[TCPIP_VAX050.KIT] Note that KIT is a subdirectory of TCPIP_VAX050 and you need your CD-ROM's target not mine :-) If on the otherhand you find a file that ends with the PCSI extension, then that is designed to be installed by the PCSI system. You do that using: $ product install NAME /SRC=[directory] Note if you don't know what its name should be (and believe me it can be tough to guess some times) then just type: $ product install /src=[directory] And when it asks for a name type * there will be only one choice and it will be chosen for you. Yes, there are those "logical" names versus the "real" name of the drives. Some clues there are : [000000] is the root directory [foo] is a file FOO.DIR in the root directory [foo.bar] is the file BAR.DIR in the FOO directory Typing $ SET DEFAULT [directory spec] Is like doing a "CD to directory" and typing $ SET DEFAULT [-] Is like typing "CD .." --Chuck
