Creating the Installation Configuration File on Solaris and Linux

To create an installation configuration file on Solaris or Linux:

1. Navigate to the location of the installation file.

2. Create the configuration file. For the graphical method, the syntax for creating the configuration file is: ./distribution-filename -savestate configuration-filename

   For the command-line method, the syntax is: ./distribution-filename -console -savestate configuration-filename

If you do not include a path to the installation configuration file, the file is created in the directory where you are running the installation program. You must have write permissions for the directory where the installation configuration file is created, otherwise the installer will not be able to create the installation configuration file after the installation is complete.
