NAME

setup − Sun Unix installation program

SYNOPSIS

setup

DESCRIPTION

Setup is the program supplied by Sun to install major Sun Unix releases such as 2.0 or 3.0. Setup allows a system administrator to install major Sun Unix release on new hardware, upgrade between major releases, and add additional hardware to existing machines.

Setup provide both a TTY interface for cursor addressable terminals and a SunWindows system interface for use on bit mapped displays. The "Setup Reference Manual" contains a detailed description of the use of Setup.

Initial users of setup are asked the following questions in a menu format before entering the TTY or SunWindows interface. For all menus respond to the ">>" with the corresponding number of the menu item.

The first question asked is the mode of use of Setup.

         Are you running setup:
                 1) to install on a new system
                 2) re-entrantly
                 3) to upgrade an existing system
                 4) in demonstration mode
         >>

The next question is to determine the type of interface to be used. Note that the cursor addressable interface can be used within a shelltool under SunWindows.

         Will you be running setup from:
                 1) a Sun bit mapped display device
                 2) a cursor addressable terminal
         >>

If you have selected the TTY interface for cursor addressable terminals, Setup asks for the terminal type.

         Select your terminal type:
                 1) Televideo 925
                 2) Wyse Model 50
                 3) Sun Workstation
                 4) Other
         >>

If you select "Other", the name of the terminal must correspond to a name in the termcap(5) database.

Enter the terminal type (your terminal type must be in /etc/termcap):
>>

Setup begins running the interface type selected.
