40 EFS Systems on a Linux Base: Getting Started
4.1 FLEX-ES installation steps
FLEX-ES can be delivered a number of ways:
FTP over the Internet
CD-ROM
Preinstalled by a Business Partner
The FLEX-ES package is not large (about 4 MB), and an FTP download is easy. In addition
to the FLEX-ES code, you need a FLEX-ES license key file and dongle. The license key file is
a few hundred bytes and is normally shipped with your system. For our examples, we
assume that you have FLEX-ES on a CD.
The FLEX-ES distribution file is normally in tar format. You want to untar the file and place the
results in the /tmp directory:
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
