Using the Installation Shell Script

The installation shell script helps with the setup process. The installation shell script automates some of the tasks in configuring/etc/hosts, /etc/printcap; creating the spool directory for BSD UNIX; and running the lpadmin command for System V UNIX.

Important

  • Download the installation shell script from our Web site. Keep the installation shell script as local folders.

  • The installation shell script can be used on the following workstations: (it cannot be used with other types of workstations.)

    • SunOS 4.1.4

    • Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, 9

  • Depending on security settings when installed, rsh/rcp/telnet may not be usable with Red Hat 7.1 or later. Change the security level to allow use of rsh/rcp/telnet. For details about how to change the setting, see the operating instructions for Red Hat.

  • When you use NIS (Network Information Service) or DNS, you should configure the server before running the installation shell script.
