Installing CD Software onto the Server(s)

There are five sections to the GUI-mode installation. Each has a distinct
background screen. The first section is purely informative to you, the user. The
second section contains a series of checklists, asking for which items you wish to
install on that server. The third section asks for locations based upon the items
selected in the second section. The fourth section confirms whether you wish to
proceed and update your disk or abort your installation. The fifth section actually
installs the software in the requested locations.
You will be presented with a series of dialogs. Most of the dialogs contain two
buttons, OK

Installing on Non-Supported Servers Installing on Non-Supported Servers Installing on Non-Supported Servers Installing on Non-Supported Servers
Although the installation software supports installation only on Windows NT server,
SCO UnixWare, SCO OpenServer, Slackware, Red Hat Linux, and HP/UX servers,
some end-users may want to use other servers. Patches to the CD software will be
made available as new server platforms become supported. In the event that
patches are not available at the time you require them, you can do one of two
things: Either install the tar files (and other files) manually on your server or modify
the installation script for use in your environment. Although the current software
does not support either of these, the tools are provided so that you can do it if
needed.
The entire installation procedure is written using TCL 8.0.3 and TK 8.0.3. TCL/TK is
a scripting language similar to the shell and/or Perl, and is available for a large
number of platforms (generic UNIX, Windows, Macintosh, and other systems). Tcl
contains a non-graphical interface, TK adds a graphical interface.
The contents of the CD are separated into several directories. The
product
directory contains the terminal software. The
scripts
directory contains the TCL
and TK scripts. The sources directory contains two tar files of sources, one for
TK, one for TCL. The
library
directory contains runtime files that are common to
all supported platforms but are not part of the actual installation scripts. The
images
directory contains the various background images for the installation
screens (when run with a GUI). The
product.src
directory contains the source
for the terminal components that are protected by the GPL (GNU Public License).
