This section lists the subsystems of the IRIX Interacive
Desktop and their sizes.
If you are installing this product for the first time, the
subsystems marked ``default'' are the ones that are
installed if you use the ``go'' menu item. To install a
different set of subsystems, use the ``install,''
``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands in _i_n_s_t to
customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then
select the ``go'' menu item. You can also use the graphical
inst tool, _s_w_m_g_r, which is accessible from the System
toolchest as the Software Manager menu item, to install the
software when you are not in the miniroot.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for information
on finding exact sizes.

2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for desktop_base can be installed
using IRIX. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to
the _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete
installation instructions.
2.4 _C_o_m_p_a_t_i_b_i_l_i_t_y
The desktop_base subsystems are incompatible with all
previous IRIX versions (including WorkSpace). The IRIX 6.2
libraries that are included in the IRIX 6.5 desktop_base
product no longer have a dependency on the objectserver, but
their APIs are the same as they were in IRIX 6.2.
