IRIX 6.5.1 Installation Tools and Overlays, August '98 README
Silicon Graphics, Inc.
--------------------------------------------
This CD contains the miniroot and other components necessary to boot
the system into the basic installation environment for operating
system installs and upgrades. It also contains a set of documentation
called "Customer Welcome, August '98".
Important
---------
Before upgrading to IRIX 6.5.1
You must read the "Start Here" section of the documentation contained
in the Customer Welcome. When upgrading from a release prior to IRIX
6.5, it is extremely important to insert all applicable IRIX 6.5 CDROMs
(or open all network distribution directories) as well as the 6.5.1
CDROMs, before issuing any "keep" or "install" commands. If this
is not done, many conflicts will have to be resolved manually.
To view the Start Here pages:
1. Insert the Installation Tools and Overlays CD 1-of-2 August '98
into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Open a Web browser and go to:
file:/CDROM/WhatsNew/yourSystem.html
3. Click the "Start Here" link.
Startup Script
--------------
This Installation Tools CD provides a script to help you prepare for
installation. This script checks for old kernel files and large files
you may no longer need and, with your approval, removes them.
Silicon Graphics strongly recommends that you run the startup script.
