Use this menu to set up your system and network.  When you
select an item, you will be asked a series of questions.

For more information about the items on the menu and the
questions you must answer, see the System Administration
and Network Administration guides.

Enter the menu item number that you want:

Availability of the setup scripts on this menu depends on the software subsets that were installed. In the previous sample menu, all mandatory and optional software subsets were installed, so all setup scripts are available. If a setup script does not have an option number next to it, the setup script is not available for use.

Each of the setup scripts is a series of interactive prompts during which questions are displayed on the screen and you respond accordingly. Most questions provide you with default responses and in most cases, you can choose the defaults. Any default parameters that you accept can always be changed at a later time.

The setup scripts appear on the menu in the order in which Digital recommends them to be run. For instance, if you want to set up the system to run in a networked environment, the first task you should perform is to set up networking information by using the Network Configuration Application followed by the BIND Configuration Application, NIS - Network Information Service, and the NFS Configuration Application. If you do not want to set up your system to run in a networked environment, the first task you should perform is to load and register your Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) using the License Manager.

You should read the relevant sections of the Digital UNIX documentation set before running a setup program or choosing an option from the Setup menu. The documentation lists the prerequisites to running a specific setup program.

Digital UNIX V4.0B (Rev. xxx); Fri Dec 13 15:54:51 EDT 1996
Digital UNIX V4.0B Worksystem Software (Rev. xxx)

The installation software has successfully installed your system.

There are log files that contain a record of your installation.
These are:

  /var/adm/smlogs/install.cdf     - configuration description file
  /var/adm/smlogs/install.log     - general log file
  /var/adm/smlogs/install.FS.log  - file system creation logs
  /var/adm/smlogs/setld.log       - log for the setld(8) utility
  /var/adm/smlogs/fverify.log     - verification log file

The previous message is also recorded in the /etc/motd file for your future reference. The /etc/motd file contains the message of the day that is displayed each time a user logs in. The installation log files are located in the /var/adm/smlogs directory and include the choices you made during the installation (such as the disks and partitions you chose, the software subsets you installed, and so forth).

To enable unattended reboot functionality, halt the system and set the following console parameters:

>>> set boot_osflags a

>>> set boot_reset off

>>> set auto_action restart

After invoking Netscape, a Digital UNIX home page is located at the following location: /usr/doc/netscape/Digital_UNIX.html. The home page contains links to helpful documentation, including a local copy of the Netscape User's Handbook (consider adding this link to your list of Netscape bookmarks).

Follow these steps to mount the documentation CD-ROM and invoke Netscape:

1. As superuser or root, mount the CD-ROM labeled Digital UNIX V4.0B Documentation Volume 1 under the /usr/share/doclib/online directory:

   1. If you do not know the CD-ROM device name, use the file command specifying the raw device to find it. CD-ROM devices are prefixed with the letters RRD. Using the | (pipe) command to filter the output of the file command to the grep command to search for RRD ensures that only your CD-ROM devices are output in the result of the command. Enter a command similar to the following:

      # file /dev/rrz*c | grep RRD
      /dev/rrz4c: character special (8/4098) SCSI #0 RRD44 disk #32 \
      (SCSI ID #4)

      In the previous example, the CD-ROM device is RRD44 on device /dev/rz4c. The backslash in the previous example indicates line continuation and is not in the actual display. If you have more than one RRD device connected to your system, specify the device where the CD-ROM will be mounted.

      Standard device names begin with rz for the block special file and rrz for the raw (character) special file. The result of the file command displays the raw device name, but you must specify the block special file when mounting the CD-ROM device.

   2. Enter the mount command with the following syntax and substitute the unit number of your CD-ROM drive for the unit_number:

      mount-r /dev/rzunit_numberc mount_point

      If your CD-ROM device is rz4c, use a command similar to the following to mount the CD-ROM on /usr/share/doclib/online:

      # mount -r /dev/rz4c /usr/share/doclib/online

      The /usr/share/doclib/online directory already exists; there is no need to create it.

2. Start Netscape from either the command line or from the common desktop environment (CDE) front panel:

   1. To invoke Netscape from the command line, enter the following command:

      # /usr/bin/X11/netscape &

   2. To invoke Netscape from the CDE front panel:

      • Click on the Application Manager icon on the CDE front panel.

      • In the Application Manager window, double click on the Desktop_Apps folder.

      • In the Desktop_Apps folder, double-click on the Netscape icon.

3. In the Netscape main window, load the Digital UNIX home page by clicking on the Open icon and entering the following file location in the Open Location: text entry field:

   file:/usr/doc/netscape/Digital_UNIX.html

   Save the home page as a bookmark by clicking on the Bookmarks menu and selecting the Add Bookmark option. Creating a bookmark lets you access the Digital UNIX home page quickly and easily.

4. When the Digital UNIX home page is loaded, click on the Digital UNIX documentation link to load the Digital UNIX documentation bookshelf.

A sample resource defaults file for Netscape is located in the file /usr/doc/netscape/Netscape.ad. Comments within this file show possible settings for each resource.

The /usr/bin/X11/netscape file is a shell script that performs the following:

• If a Navigator preferences file does not already exist at $HOME/.netscape/preferences, then a preferences file is copied there from /usr/doc/netscape/default-netscape-preferences.

• If a default Java class file does not already exist at $HOME/.netscape/java_30, a symbolic link is created there to point at /usr/lib/netscape/java_30.

• If a default null plugin file does not already exist at $HOME/plugins/libnullplugin.so, a symbolic link is created there to point at /usr/lib/netscape/libnullplugin.so.

• The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is set to point to /usr/lib/netscape and the actual Navigator binary at /usr/bin/X11/real-netscape is invoked. The setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH allows Navigator to use a special version of libXt.so installed in the /usr/lib/netscape directory. This modified library is necessary to work around a Navigator problem that prevents Java applets from running within the Navigator on some X11R6-based platforms (for example, Digital UNIX).

To convert your existing NCSA Mosaic hotlist file into an equivalent Netscape bookmark file, invoke the shell script /usr/doc/netscape/hot-convert.sh with no arguments.

Digital recommends that you define the Global Types File and Global Mailcap File used by Netscape as follows:

• Global Types File: /usr/lib/netscape/mime.types

• Global Mailcap File: /usr/lib/netscape/mailcap

These files allow Netscape to invoke the proper helper applications for viewing file types not directly viewable in Netscape. You can do this by selecting Preferences... from the Netscape Options menu. Then select Helper Applications in the resulting dialog box, and enter the correct values.

Digital strongly recommends using the same directories shown in the examples so you will not have to modify library bookshelf files.

Follow these procedures to copy the HTML files to a disk on your system:

The following steps assume that networking is set up on the server system. For more information on setting up a network, refer to the netconfig(8X) and nfsconfig(8X) reference pages or Network Administration.
