Step 5: Launching the Installation

Step 5: Launching the Installation

The selections that you made in step 4 are processed when you launch the installation with the go command. The order in which you made selections in step 4 has no effect on the order in which they are processed. You can process any number of selections: it is not necessary to complete all your selections before you enter go.

Note: Inst will detect a conflict condition if you fail to include any prerequisite software in a selected subset (see "Step 6: Resolving Conflicts and Other Errors" for details). As the go command executes, Inst determines whether your selections contain incompatibilities, missing prerequisites, space shortages, or other errors that might make the new software configuration unsuitable for the target. To keep you informed of events, Inst posts status messages during go processing.

Example 4-8 : Successful Installation Messages Notice that Example 4-8 contains a success message:

Installations and removals were successful

When you see this message, you can either continue the installation session or go directly to "Step 7: Quitting the Installation Session". If you receive an error message instead of a success message, complete "Step 6: Resolving Conflicts and Other Errors" before going on to step 7.
