Turning Off Initial Selection of Subsystems

Turning Off Initial Selection of Subsystems

Each time you invoke Inst or enter a from command, Inst ignores any installation or removal selections that were not performed; it uses its own algorithms to select subsystems for installation. You can override this selection of subsystems, but any pending installation or removal selections are still erased.

To prevent Inst from making selections after you enter the from command, enter this command:

Inst> set autoselect off

Turning autoselect off means that the only i characters in the first column of list output are selections that you made yourself. To turn automatic selection back on, use this command:

Inst> set autoselect on

The value of autoselect is saved in the installation history database; if you set it off, it remains off in future Inst sessions until you change its value.
