The DAX/2 System – Version 8.0.5

9 Managing packages and installed software
System 8 introduces a complete overhaul of the software management system called Xanadu . This permits automated up-
dating of the installed firmware, as well as the installation, updating and removal of packages from a central server using a
menu-based interface.
Packages may include applications, scripts, personas, or data for other user applications that you
already have installed. Only managers and owners may use the software manager.
Locating a server : When installing or updating software for your DAX/2, it is necessary to be in the same region (within
256m on the ground, altitude-independent) as a Xanadu server. Xanadu servers can generally be found on the premises of
Nanite Systems offices and retailers, although some organizations may offer their own Xanadu servers for custom applica-
tions, drivers, and compatibility software.
Installing packages : To install a package, open the
manage :: software
menu and select
install
. After a few se-
conds you will be prompted to select a server from the list (if you are not already connected to a server) and presented with
a range of packages. To learn more about a package, select its name from the list and choose
info
. To install the package,
select its name and choose
install
.
Updating packages : This is analogous to the installation process: select
update
from the
manage :: software
menu,
choose a server, choose a package, and then press
update
. The menu will only list packages which you have installed that
the server can update. To learn about what the update contains and to remind yourself about the purpose of the package,
press
info
.
Removing packages : Select
remove
from the
manage :: software
menu and then the package name, followed by
remove
. To learn what the package contains instead of removing it, you may alternatively press
info
.
Updating the system : Follow the instructions to update a normal package, as described above. Select the “
System
”
package.
Managing files directly with the Edit Tool : Certain types of assets, such as voice packs, custom personas, or software
not yet available on a package server, may require direct editing to install, update, or remove. See page 34 for instructions
on how to manipulate data files.
