Running install4x
After you use one of the previous procedures, the CD is mounted on /cdrom. Now invoke install4x by typing the following command.
|
# /usr/sbin/install4x -m /cdrom/volume1/s0 -e /export |
If the -m option is not specified, the following prompt is displayed.
|
Enter name of directory where the 4.1* cd is mounted [/cdrom]: |
If the -e option is not specified, the following prompt is displayed.
|
Enter name of export directory [/export]: |
As before, if your site has customized the location of the /export directory, you can direct install4x to load software to a different directory by specifying additional arguments, as in the following command.
|
# /usr/sbin/install4x -m /cdrom -e /clients |
Choosing Software to Load
install4x displays the Install Main Menu shown here.
*** 4.1* Install Main Menu ***
Choose an Architecture (then select modules to load):

[a] sun4.sun4c.sunos.4.1.2 8 0
[b] sun4.sun4.sunos.4.1.2 8 0
[c] sun4.sun4m.sunos.4.1.2 7 0
or begin the loading process for all selected modules:

[Q] Quit without loading +----------------------+
Type any bracketed letter to select that function.

The Install Main Menu screen presents several options. The first set (labeled here as a, b, and c) is used to specify the architecture for which software is to be loaded. Other options enable the user to direct software loading to begin (L), quit the program (Q), or ask for help (?).
After you choose each appropriate architecture, the program displays the Module Selection.

Packages already loaded are shown on the Module Selection screen with a plus sign (+) before the selection letter (that is, in the previous screen the packages associated with letters a, b, c, d, j, q, w, and x are already loaded). Note that loading packages for one architecture may cause those packages to show as being loaded for other architectures since many packages are shared.
Select modules to load by typing the associated character that is shown in brackets. Pressing the key associated with a module toggles the selection status (that is, will select or deselect the module, depending on its previous status). Modules selected to be loaded have asterisks (**) displayed before the selection character. You can reload modules already present by answering Y or y when asked to confirm the apparent redundancy.
SunSoft has determined which software must be loaded for a release to operate normally (shown with R to the right of the selection letter), which software is commonly loaded (shown as C), and which software should be loaded (shown as D).
Additionally, the Module Selection screen readily enables you to pick groups of modules to be loaded. When you enter a 1, it marks all required modules for loading. When you enter a 2, it marks all recommended modules. When you enter a 3, it marks all commonly loaded modules. When you enter a 4, it marks all optional modules. When you enter a 5, it marks all modules shown on the Module Selection screen.
Return to the Install Main Menu by typing D.
