Starting SunPCi

To start the SunPCi program, type the following command at the % prompt and press Return:

% /opt/SUNWspci/bin/sunpci 

The SunPCi program starts, and a SunPCi window is displayed. When you start SunPCi software for the first time after installation, the program takes a few minutes to create a directory named ~/pc, in which several SunPCi files are also created. When you subsequently restart SunPCi software, the SunPCi window will come up more quickly, because these files and directories do not need to be created again.

When the SunPCi software has finished starting up, the screen displays the DOS prompt (C:\>). You can use OpenDOS with your DOS applications, or you can install Windows 95 or Windows NT.

If you want to install Windows 95, proceed to the following section, Installing Windows 95 Software.

If you want to install Windows NT, proceed to Installing Windows NT Workstation 4.0.

If you do not want to type the full path of SunPCi every time you want to run the software, you can modify the $path statement in your .login or .cshrc file. For information on how to do this, refer to your Solaris documentation.
