Compaq T1500 manual

42Chapter 6

Change the active directory to the CD-ROM drive (cd /cdrom).

Note

Windows uses “ \ ” as directory separator, and UNIX uses “ / ”. Prior to start of the TCL/TK runtime, use the appropriate separator.

Run the install procedure (./install). Note that ./install explicitly runs the install program in the current directory. This is because there may be other install programs in your search path and because the current directory is not normally part of root’s search path.

Answer all questions with the appropriate information (based upon your filled-out worksheet).

Note

Once in the installation scripts under Windows, the following file naming rules apply:

Use c:/dir/file as appropriate. You must use “ / “ instead of “ \ “.

Do not use spaces in file or directory names.

You will be prompted as to whether this is an upgrade or an installation on top of a prior release.

•If you perform an upgrade, the configuration files from the prior release (assuming you pick the same directory for the upgrade) will be preserved rather than replaced. If you select upgrade of components not previously installed, they will be fully installed. There is no automatic uninstall of discontinued components.

•If you perform an installation on top of the prior release, the old configuration information will be lost. You will be prompted if attempting to overwrite directories.

•You may choose to selectively reinstall components of the current release, in which case only information pertaining to the reinstalled components will be overwritten. To ensure that the selected components are overwritten, select install rather than upgrade.
