Java Desktop System Release 3 on Linux Release Notes

1.6 Correction to Java Desktop System Release 3 Installation Guide

The instructions for creating a network install image for Java Desktop System Release 3 in the section "Installing From the Network", steps 1 to 15, are incorrect.

You must complete the following procedure to set up a network installation image.

1.6.1 Installing From the Network

You can perform a network installation of your Java Desktop System on Linux platforms. Ensure you have access to an NFS shared directory that has approximately 3GB of free space. The following sample procedure describes how to set up an installation image for the Java Desktop System on Linux installation via a Network File System (NFS):

  1. Log in as the root user and copy the CDs into a special directory structure. Go to a directory of your choice and execute the following commands in steps 2 to 7:

  2. mkdir CD1

    Copy the contents of JDS CD1 into this directory.

  3. mkdir CD2

    Copy the contents of JDS CD2 into this directory.

  4. mkdir CD3

    Copy the contents of JDS CD3 into this directory.

  5. mkdir CD4

    Copy the contents of JDS CD4 into this directory.

  6. mkdir CD4

    Copy the contents of JDS CD4 into this directory.

  7. When you specify the location of the network installation image, use the path to the CD1 directory above. The installation procedure will automatically locate the remaining CD images if they are located under the same parent directory.
