2 Choosing and Installing the Software You Need This chapter provides a brief overviews of the CDs included in this kit and points you to the information you need to install the software. 2.1 Overview of Version 5.1B-5 CDs This kit contains six primary CDs. The following list describes the contents of these disks and tells you what you need to know to get your system up and running as quickly as possible: • Version 5.1B-5 CD This disk contains the new and improved features and problem fixes.
• Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B Documentation Library CD This disk contains the documents that provide information for general users, system administrators, and programmers using the Tru64 UNIX system. If the Version 5.1B documentation set is already installed, do not install the software on this CD. The Version 5.1B-5 CD installs all reference pages that have been updated since the Version 5.1B release if the reference page subset is installed on your system.
• Installing associated products Appendix D of the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide will help you install one or more of the associated products provided on the two Associated Products disks included with the Version 5.1B-5 kit. • Installing the NHD kit If you are installing the NHD-7 kit included with Version 5.1B-5, you do not have to separately install Version 5.1B-5 — that kit is installed as part of the NHD-7 installation procedure.
In this command, N is the unit number of your CD-ROM device. If you do not know the unit number of your CD device, the following command will provide that information: # ls /dev/disk/cdrom* Do not use a different mount point. 3.
