To Install Software With the Product Registry

1. Do you want to add an additional software product or products to the Solaris 8 software you already installed?

   • If no, stop, you're done.

   • If yes, go to the next step.

2. Log in to the installed or upgraded system.

3. Locate the net image of the software you want to install or insert the CD that contains the software you want to add to the system into the CD-ROM drive attached to the system.

   If you inserted a CD, Volume Manager automatically mounts the CD.

4. If the Solaris Product Registry is not already running, type:

   /usr/bin/prodreg

   Note -

   In most cases, you do not need to specify the path /usr/bin/.

5. To view the list of installed and registered software, click the turner control to the left of the System registry.

6. Click the New Install button at the bottom of the Solaris Product Registry window.

   The Product Registry displays the Select Installer dialog box, which initially points to the /cdrom directory.
