HP R4.2 Note:, pkgadd, pkgadd, pkgadd -ddiskette1, A Summary of Commands

A Summary of Commands pkgadd

•-r— Identify a file or directory that contains output from a previous pkgask session. This file supplies the interaction responses that would be requested by the package in interactive mode. Response must be a full path name.

Note: The -roption can be used to indicate a directory name as well as a filename. The directory can contain numerous response files, each sharing the name of the package with which it should be associated. This is used, for example, when adding multiple interactive packages with one invocation of pkgadd.

Each package needs a response file. If you create response files with the same name as the package (that is, pkinst1 and pkinst2), then name the directory in which these files reside after the -r.

•-R— Define the full path name of a subdirectory to use as the rootpath. All files, including package system information files, are relocated to a directory tree starting in the specified rootpath.

•-s— Reads the package into the directory spool instead of installing it.

Examples

The following example installs a package from a floppy diskette. The system prompts you for the name of the package you want to install.

pkgadd -d diskette1
