Adding the AnswerBook Package from the Network

When installing Solaris CDE, the installation menu gives you the option to install the AnswerBook CDE package. If you choose YES, the AnswerBook package is installed in the /usr/dt/share/answerbooks/language directory (language is the local name of the particular AnswerBook translation).

Since the AnswerBook package requires 109 megabytes of disk space, you may not want to install it. However, the following two options are available:

• You can mount (or link from /net/. . .) the AnswerBook package to /usr/dt/share/answerbooks/language.

• You can add the AB_CARDCATALOG environment variable to HomeDirectory/.dtprofile. For example, if you have an exported version on your network, then add the following line to HomeDirectory/.dtprofile:

	export AB_CARDCATALOG=/net/hostname/usr/dt/share/answerbooks \
    /language/ab_cardcatalog
