7) To run the update on your server

   ===>> Please read the Installation Instructions first <<==

   # cd /pub/pmp3250
   # ./runme.sh

                   ........WAIT...........

   # /etc/shutdown -Fr

8) NFS export the PMP dir as READ-ONLY to all your clients.

9) To update a client system

    a -  Mount the PMP filesystem from the server
    b -  cd <mounted_filesystem>
    c -  execute ./runme.sh
    d -  Unmount PMP filesystem
    e -  reboot

10) To create a copy 1:1 of the tape you received use the script 'mktape.sh'

   # cd /pub/pmp3250
   # mktape.sh 0
