Before You Begin

Prior to installation, make sure the machine is performing properly as a router. Do not begin this procedure until you have read the information in "Installation Considerations."

The installation procedure requires that you reboot the machine when indicated. Do not perform any other tasks on the machine while installing the software, as a delay in rebooting the machine can affect installation and cause your system to hang.

To Install SunScreen

The installation wizard guides you through this procedure. You must be on the machine you are installing on in order to use the installation wizard and you must not telnet to the machine.

This chapter documents a default installation so you should accept all defaults as given. If you want a different choice, quit the installation wizard and restart it using the appropriate installation procedure; see the Table of Contents to locate the types of installations.

1. Insert the Solaris Easy Access CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

   A File Manager window appears listing the CD contents. Navigate down to the SunScreen directory.

2. Start the installation by double-clicking on the SunScreen installer icon.

   Type the root password for your system when prompted. The SunScreen installer's Welcome window appears (as shown in the following figure).
