Installation Steps
•
To update the ViewPoint configuration file, type:
filename
is the name of the define file. If you do not specify a define file, ViewPoint prompts
you for a file name. If you have not created a define file, you can use the default
file; just press return when prompted for the file name.
A startup screen (see Example 7-1) appears that describes the installation process and
asks you to specify the name of the definition file you want to use.
If you supply the name of an existing file, the Install program uses the values in that file
to produce the option display. If the specified file does not exist, Install creates it.
If you want to use the default file name, press RETURN. Install displays the default file
name, DEFINE, on the current subvolume.
1. When you are satisfied with the name of your DEFINE file, press RETURN to
continue the installation process.
The installation options now appear on your screen (see Figure 7-2). They are a list
of the most commonly-used parameter values appearing in the PATHDEFS and
PATHCONF configuration files. When you select a different option value, Install
automatically changes the associated parameter value appearing in PATHDEFS or
PATHCONF. At the same time it updates your define file, which contains a
complete list of all the parameter settings.
