 * Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6

SUMMARY
FoxPro for UNIX installs through a UNIX installation script. It is possible to specify an alternative device name to be used during installation.

MORE INFORMATION
By default, FoxPro for UNIX uses /dev/install for the primary floppy disk drive. If a secondary floppy disk drive is used, /dev/install1 will probably be used during installation. If another device needs to be specified (if neither /dev/install nor /dev/install1 are suitable), the UNIX raw device name may be used. For example, if the primary (boot) floppy disk drive is a high-density 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, the UNIX raw device name would be /dev/rfd0135ds18. To install FoxPro for UNIX and explicitly specify the drive name, the following command would be used:

custom -m /dev/rfd0135ds18 "custom" is an SCO UNIX and XENIX installation utility.
