Are you upgrading a system
running a pre-6.5 version of IRIX, or installing onto a clean disk?
If so, you need to install both the 6.5 and 6.5.18
CDs (except for the 6.5 Installation Tools CD).
Are you upgrading a system
running 6.5 or later to IRIX 6.5.18?
Then you only need to install 6.5.18 CDs, unless you want to
switch release streams. (To switch release streams, see the
Installation Instructions CD booklet.)

Base Documentation CD, May 2002

This CD lets you view release
notes, online books, and man pages before you install or upgrade the
operating system. It supersedes any earlier releases of the Base
Documentation CD. See
the Documentation CD page

Other 6.5.18 CDs
In addition to the CDs listed
above, you probably received other CDs with your IRIX 6.5.18
package. If you already have older versions of any of the products on
these CDs installed, you should upgrade them during the operating
system upgrade. If you do not open them, "conflict" messages
(during the upgrade process) will prompt you to open them.
Each of these separate products
come with their own installation instructions, and you can load any
additional new products or subsystems after the initial operating
system upgrade is finished and the system has restarted.
Install the IRIX 6.5 CDs if you are:
-
Upgrading to IRIX 6.5.18 from a
pre-6.5 version of IRIX
-
Or, installing onto a clean disk
Follow the procedure in the
Installation Instructions CD booklet that came with your IRIX 6.5.18
software.
