I recently installed QNX 6.1.0 after downloading the ISO image. Next, I
installed most of the packages for x86 of off the CDROM, especially all the
stuff for development. I then installed all the updates from the QNX web
site using the package installer (the “A” revisions). Next, I wanted to get
the QNX 4 to QNX 6 migration kit. To be sure it would be helpful to me I
first downloaded the QNX 6 migration kit documentation file
“mig4nto.doc.tar.gz” into “/root”. The instructions on the QNX web page say
to copy this file into /usr/help/product. I used the command:
cp -v mig4nto.doc.tar.gz /usr/help/product
I get the result:
Cannot open destination file “/usr/help/product//mig4nto.doc.tar.gz” -
file or directory does not exist.
Thinking that perhaps the cp command doesn’t work quite according to the way
the “use cp” says it does, I tried the command:
cp -v mig4nto.doc.tar.gz /usr/help/product/mig4nto.doc.tar.gz
This results in:
Cannot open destination file “/usr/help/product/mig4nto.doc.tar.gz” -
file or directory does not exist.
I tried using the “mv” command instead. I get basically the same result
except that mv says that /usr/help/product is on a different device and then
spawns cp to yield the same copy error. This is strange because I have only
one hard drive partition assigned to QNX 6 and no other partitions are
mounted.
Can anyone help me to understand what I am doing wrong? The instructions on
the web page for downloading the migration kit appear very straightforward.
If I am doing something wrong I can’t seem to figure it out.
By the way, does QNX 6 support a USB mouse? I had to plug in my old PS2 port
mouse. I’d rather use my USB mouse if I can.

Dear David,
I had similar problems and if I remember correctly(I do not have access to my
notes) it was simply that the
instructions mis-spell the pathname for the relevant file. either source or
destination file should be d o c s rather than d o c .
