Default distribution to install from: source Default distribution to install from: source/productDepending on your situation, source includes one or more of these items: a user ID, a remote target name, and a directory or tape device. If you specified a product name when you invoked Inst (inst -f), product is the name of the software product that you specified (for live installations only). The complete syntax of source and source/product is entered in "Step 2: Specifying the Source" and "Alternative Ways to Specify a Distribution".
Each time you enter the from command, the current distribution source changes. You can display the current distribution source by entering this command from any menu:
Inst> set dist Preference Type Value ... dist String last_source Inst>The value of dist is last_source, which is a character string (string). The value of last_source is always the same as source (the current distribution), with one exception: After Inst is invoked, but before product descriptors are read for the first time, the value of dist is the distribution source that was specified in the previous installation session. If you use a distribution source of the form source/product, product is not included in the value of dist.
