Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.8 Installation Guide (14234)

that information sent over the network is not secure. You can shut off this warning; however, it
is good practice to reset the browser preferences after the installation to display this warning.
Notes:
If a step in the browser-based installation procedure appears to be taking a long time to complete,
scroll to the bottom of the form to check its status.
You can stop the browser-based installation at any time by pressing Ctrl/C in the terminal window
from which you started the installation.
2.6 Verifying Tru64 UNIX Subsets
The installation procedure checks your system to make sure that all required Tru64 UNIX subsets
are present. (A default Tru64 UNIX installation includes all the subsets required by Internet
Express.) If so, the procedure moves on to the next step. If any Tru64 UNIX subsets are missing,
the procedure displays a list of the missing subsets and prompts you to insert the CD–ROM
containing the operating system software.
The installation procedure locates the missing subsets, if any, and automatically installs them.
As it installs the subsets, the procedure displays a log of the copy and verification process. This
process can take five minutes or longer.
When all the subsets are installed, scroll to the bottom of the form and click on Continue to
proceed with verification of the Tru64 UNIX kernel options. Note that some updated subsets
may take effect when the system reboots.
Note:
JavaScript is required to control the progress of the Internet Express browser-based installation.
The installation procedure checks that your browser is enabled to use JavaScript. If not, the
procedure displays a warning message. You must enable JavaScript in your browser preferences
before continuing with the installation.
2.7 Verifying Tru64 UNIX Kernel Options
The installation procedure checks for the following kernel options required by Internet Express:
• LDTTY
• RPTY
• STREAMS
• STRKINFO
If these kernel options are defined on the system, the procedure moves on to the next step. (A
default Tru64 UNIX installation configures all the kernel options required by Internet Express.)
If any required kernel options are missing, the procedure:
• Displays a list of kernel configuration files on your system and prompts you to select one.
Unless you have renamed your system's configuration file, accept the default name. (Do not
choose the generic kernel configuration file, GENERIC.)
• Rebuilds the kernel (/vmunix) automatically. This process can take 8 to 10 minutes.
After the kernel is rebuilt, the installation procedure prompts you to reboot the system. Scroll to
the bottom of the page and click on Reboot Now. After a one-minute delay, the system reboots
and you can restart the installation as follows:
1. Log in as root.
2. Restart the installation procedure by entering the following command:
# /tmp/ix_install
Note that the installation procedure is now located in the /tmp directory.
