Chapter 5: Installing and Removing Software
Choosing Subsystems to Install or Remove
When you are running inst, you can see all the subsystems that make up the products, and
check whether they have been selected for installation by typing:
list
You see one or more screenfuls of information.

•
To stop the listing, press
<q>
; you see the
Inst>
prompt.
•
To see the inst menu again, press
<?>
.
list displays a key to the listing, followed by the list of available subsystems. The first two
columns of the listing show:
•
whether the available (usually newer) version of a subsystem is selected for
installation (i) or is not selected (k)
Note:
If you have a version of a subsystem already installed and you would like to
remove it while other software is being installed, you can select it for removal (r). See
also “Removing Optional Software” on page 107.
•
whether you have already installed an older (X), newer (N), or identical (I) version
of a particular subsystem
Here are some samples of the first three columns of subsystem listings:
i X nfs.sw.nis
An older version (
X
) of this subsystem (
nfs.sw.nis
) is already installed,
and the newer version is selected for installation (
i
). It is part of the NFS
product (
nfs
).
k I pfa.sw.lib
An identical version (
I
) of this subsystem (
pfa.sw.lib
) is already
installed, so inst assumes you want to keep (
k
) the currently installed
version. It is part of the Power Fortran product (
pfa
).
k N insight.sw.client
A newer version (
N
) of this subsystem (
insight.sw.client
) is already
installed, so inst assumes you want to keep (
k
) the currently installed
version. It is part of the IRIS Insight product (
insight
).
