This guide discusses installing the base operating system and optional components from the numbered UnixWare 7 CD-ROMs (for example: disks 1, 2, and 3 of 3). For the latest information on the contents of your media kit, refer to the Installation Roadmap provided with your software.
When you install UnixWare 7 runtime software, you enter a license corresponding to a UnixWare 7 ``Edition'', a collection of software targeted to a specific purpose.
The installation conveniently selects the appropriate software sets, services, and packages to install based on your license, allowing you to bypass the software selection phase of the installation. If you want to customize software selection, you can use the licensed defaults as a base from which to install additional services and packages or remove those you do not need.
This list of Editions matches currently shipping software. When you receive UnixWare 7, more Editions may be available and the contents of some Editions may have changed. For example, later releases of some products may be included, and obsolete products may be removed.
The UnixWare 7 Editions are:
The license you enter during the installation transparently selects the correct services and packages to install on your system. If you choose to defer licensing during the installation, or if you install products not included with your license, you will be issued a free 60-day trial license. If you want to continue to use the software after that time, contact your vendor to purchase a license, then use the SCOadmin License Manager to remove the evaluation license(s) and re-license the software.
If you defer licensing during installation, the system will be installed using Departmental Edition service and package selection defaults.
During the installation procedure, you can choose to install:
For a complete description of all available services and packages, see the Runtime Release Notes.
The contents of the UnixWare media kit are described in the Installation Roadmap provided with your software.
If you are performing a networked installation, you must create two 3.5 inch Network Installation Utilities diskettes from the images found in the /info/images directory on the UnixWare Installation CD-ROM. See (/info/images/readme.htm) for more information.
In addition to the UnixWare media, your vendor may have provided you with one or more additional Host Bus Adapter (HBA) diskettes to support new hardware.
