- Release and Install Notes - SCO Skunkware 98
- ============================================
-
-
- SCO Skunkware 98 contains files suitable for installation on SCO OpenServer
- systems with the Software Manager facility (/etc/custom). In addition, there
- are compressed archives of pre-compiled utilities which can be extraced
- manually. Finally, there are hundreds of source archives (almost everything
- on the CD is accompanied by the source used to build it).
-
- NOTE: A full installation of SCO Skunkware 98 will consume over 500
- Megabytes of disk space and take several hours.
-
- SCO Skunkware 98 is both an installation media (recognizable by the SCO
- OpenServer Software Manager) and a mountable filesystem. In the text that
- follows, the string MOUNT-POINT will refer to the full pathname of the
- CD-ROM mount point (for example, you may choose to mount the CD-ROM on
- /usr/skunkware in which case MOUNT-POINT would refer to /usr/skunkware).
-
- Installation on SCO OpenServer
-
- The software packages for SCO OpenServer are located in /MOUNT-POINT/opt on
- the CD-ROM. The packages will be exported to /usr/local and in total consume
- about 500 MB of disk space in /opt/K/SKUNK98. If your root filesystem has
- insufficient space, prior to installation you can create a symbolic link
- from /opt/K/SKUNK98 to another filesystem with sufficient disk space. For
- instance, assuming you have created an additional filesystem on /u with lots
- of disk space :
-
- # mkdir /u/skunk98
- # cd /opt/K
- # ln -s /u/skunk98 SKUNK98
-
- To install the entire Skunkware 98 product, execute the command:
-
- # custom -i -m /dev/rcd0
-
- To install an individual package, execute the command:
-
- # custom -p SKUNK98:default:Package -i -m /dev/rcd0
-
- where "Package" is the name of the desired component. See the file
- /MOUNT-POINT/osr5/CONTENTS for the list of available components.
-
- An interactive graphical installation can be performed by running the
- Software Manager (/etc/custom) as root and choosing to install from the
- CD-ROM device. In this mode, desired packages can be selected by clicking on
- an individual package and/or -clicking on additional packages.
-
- If, as root, you are running the X.Desktop, then you can configure your
- system to mount the SCO Skunkware 98 CD-ROM by double-clicking the System
- Administration folder -> Filesystems -> Filesystem Manager. Alternatively,
- at a root shell prompt, type "scoadmin f" to bring up the Filesystem
- Manager. Next select Mount -> Add Mount Configuration -> Local and enter
- /dev/cd0 for the device and a mount point. Change the "Can Users Mount" to
- Yes and uncheck the "At System Startup" mount. After completing this
- operation, you should be able to mount and unmount the SCO Skunkware 98
- CD-ROM by typing "mnt MOUNT-POINT" and "umnt MOUNT-POINT" as any user.
-
- This cdrom is built as a mountable filesystem, and may be mounted to view,
- use, or install. To mount the cdrom, use the mount(ADM) command with the
- mount point of your choice.
- OpenServer :
-
- # mount -r /dev/cd0 /MOUNT-POINT
-
- or
- UnixWare :
-
- # mount -r -f cdfs /dev/cdrom/c1b0t210 /MOUNT-POINT
-
- For an introductory tour, point a web browser at /MOUNT-POINT/index.html
- # /usr/bin/X11/netscape file:/MOUNT-POINT/index.html
-
- If you do not have Netscape Navigator installed, download a trial copy from
- http://www2.sco.com or (for OpenServer) install NCSA Mosaic off of this CD :
- # custom -p SKUNK98:default:Mosaic -i -m /dev/rcd0
- or use any browser that supports tables and open the URL
- file:/MOUNT-POINT/index.html
-
- If you do not have or want a graphical browser, you can install Lynx 2.8rel2
- (a character browser) off of this CD :
- # custom -p SKUNK98:default:Lynx -i -m /dev/rcd0
-
- Source code is provided in the /src directory. In some cases, source code is
- provided but no compiled binaries. The source distributions are in
- gzip-compressed tar or cpio format. In order to extract these, use the
- command:
-
- $ gzcat /MOUNT-POINT/src/<directory>/<package>.tar.gz | tar xf -
-
- or, in the case of a compressed cpio archive:
-
- $ gzcat /MOUNT-POINT/src/<directory>/<package>.cpio.gz | cpio -icdu
-
- Where <directory> refers to the top-level source directory and <package> is
- the package name (e.g. gzip-1.2.4).
-
- If you do not have gzcat installed (part of the gzip package), you can
- install it off of the SCO Skunkware 98 CD via the command:
-
- # custom -p SKUNK98:default:GZIP -i -m /dev/rcd0
-
- Further platform-specific installation instructions are available in the
- Skunkware 98 Release Notes:
-
- After completing the installation of the Skunkware 98 components you desire,
- you may wish to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH and /usr/local/man to your
- MANPATH. You may also wish to add /usr/local/java to your CLASSPATH. It
- should not be necessary to add /usr/local/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH as the
- Skunkware 98 shared libraries have been built with the appropriate flags.
