Installing Sun Computer Systems Supplements for Solaris 7 Software Using swmtool

If you use swmtool to install packages from the Supplement CD, you can install packages for more than one software product during the same installation session.

The individual software product sections later in this chapter contain complete procedures for installing each product. It may be more convenient for you to install more than one product during a single swmtool session.

The general process for installing clusters and packages using swmtool is:

• Insert the Supplement CD into your CD-ROM drive.

• Become superuser.

• Start swmtool.

• Select the clusters and packages you want to install.

• In the swmtool GUI, select Add.

Some products may require a customized installation. For example, if the packages should be installed in a directory other than the defauld directory, /opt. Specific directions for any customized installations are included in the individual software product sections in this chapter.
