Documents on the Supplement CD

This chapter describes where to find the documents on the Supplement CD, and ways you can install and read the online manuals.

Note - The manuals provided on the Supplement CD, both English and localized, are also available at the http://www.sun.com/documentation website.

This chapter includes the following topics:

AnswerBook2 Documentation and the Solaris 9 9/05 Release

None of the documentation about the Solaris 9 9/05 release is supplied in AnswerBook2 trademark format. If you have AnswerBook2 documentation collections for other products, you can continue to use the AnswerBook2 server software with the Solaris 9 9/05 release.

The Solaris 9 9/04 Documentation CDs in the kit provide the greater part of Solaris manuals in PDF and HTML formats. The contents of these CDs, and their images on the Solaris 9 9/05 DVD, did not need to be revised. The documentation sets labeled Solaris 9 9/04 are still appropriate for the Solaris 9 9/05 release.

For information about reading the contents of those CDs, load the Documentation CD for English and European language documents and read the following file:

/cdrom/sol_9_904_doc_1of2/index.html

The contents of the Solaris 9 9/04 Documentation CDs and the Solaris 9 9/05 Software Supplement CD are also contained on the Solaris 9 9/05 Operating Environment DVD.

Documentation on the Supplement CD

Documentation packages containing files in PDF and HTML format are provided on the Supplement CD in the following directory:

Solaris_On_Sun_Hardware_Documentation/Product

TABLE 3-1 lists the document packages.

In a normal Solaris installation, the document packages are installed by default. The English document packages are always installed. If you are performing a localized installation, the localized document packages for that language are also installed.

You can install any of these packages separately, after a Solaris installation, as you would any other software on the Supplement CD. See Installing Supplement CD Software for details.

These documentation sets include manuals that were part of separate collections in AnswerBook2 format contained in releases earlier than the Solaris 9 release. These older AnswerBook2 collections include the following:

Solaris on Sun Hardware Collection (SUNWabhdw)
Sun Enterprise 10000 SSP Collection (SUNWuessp)
Sun Enterprise 10000 Capacity-On-Demand Collection (SUNWcodbk)
OpenBoot Collection (SUNWopen)

The Product directory also contains a package named SUNWsdocs, which contains software used during installation as needed to provide an easy-to-use link for the PDF and HTML documentation sets you install.

You can also read PDF and HTML documents directly from the Supplement CD. At the top level of this CD, the Docs directory contains a file named index.html that links to all collections in either format.

Accessing Documents From the Installed Packages

Each of the document packages you install contains a file named booklist.html. When you read this HTML file in a browser, it provides links to each of the books in that directory.

When you install a PDF or HTML documentation set in any language, a link to the booklist.html file for that set is automatically added to the following file:

/var/opt/sun_docs/sundocs.html

View that HTML file in your browser and follow the links to any documentation set installed on your system.

Note - If you need software that can display PDF-format files, you can download or order the Adobe® Acrobat Reader program from http://www.adobe.com.
