Installing HP-UX 11.0 and Updating HP-UX 10.x to 11.0 HP 9000 Computers Edition 1

Ignite-UX System Administration

Section 10: Installing NetScape as a Post-Conﬁguration Step

* Attached below we have supplied a sample “run-netscape”. * You will

also need to create a default conﬁguration ﬁle. Merely take an existing

one and remove all user and host speciﬁc information.

Step 2) Write an install and customization script

Attached below is a script we used for installing Netscape in our

environment. You will note that the script does the following:

• Remote copies from a server to the local target netscape, a

default-preferences ﬁle, and the special run-netscape script.

• Unpacks netscape.

• Makes /usr/local/bin/netscape a link to “run-netscape” to

ensure user defaults will be installed.

• Performs the special netscape customization.

• Cleans up.

We named and placed our script under the following:

/var/opt/ignite/scripts/install_netscape

Step 3) Add the install script to Ignite-UX customization

Add a line similar to the following to one of your conﬁg ﬁles (not in a

clause):

post_config_script += “/var/opt/ignite/scripts/install_netscape”

For details of adding a post conﬁguration script, see Section 5 in this

appendix. This script will need to be accessible using tftp.

Example post install script for Netscape

# !/usr/bin/ksh

# Post Ignite-UX installation script used to install Netscape

version 3.0.

# This installation assumes HP-UX 11.00 because it depends on gzip

# already loaded on the system.
