  2. Create /opt/IBM and /usr/IBM file systems

    Here is /usr/IBM example that creates a 20 GB file system...

      mklv -y fslv01 -t jfs2 appvg 80 hdisk1
      crfs -v jfs2 -d fslv01 -m /usr/IBM -A yes -p rw -a agblksize=4096 -a isnapshot=no
      mount /usr/IBM

  3. Install Firefox

      cd /opt/IBM
      scp -r root@myhost:/export/Firefox.tar.gz .
      gunzip Firefox.tar.gz; tar xvf Firefox.tar
      rm Firefox.tar
      cd /opt/IBM/Firefox
      rpm -Uvh *.rpm
      installp -acQNgXY -d /opt/IBM/Firefox Firefox.base.rte
      export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox

    Typical output...
