This section lists the subsystems (and their sizes) of
SoftWindows2.
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.
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.

2.4 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
Your workstation must be running at least release IRIX 5.3
or IRIX 6.1 in order to use Release 2.0 of this product.
IRIX 5.2 and 6.0 will not install this version.
SoftWindows2 is no longer supported on processors predating
the R4000.
2.5 _C_o_m_p_a_t_i_b_i_l_i_t_y
SoftWindows 2.0 uses a different scheme than previous
versions of SoftWindows to store the C: drive container
file. If users are upgrading from a previous version of
SoftWindows, then an upgraded version of their current
container file will be created in their home directory.
This updated container file will be named WIN311-
<username>.hdf. Users who upgrade their container file will
be given the option of deleting their old container file to
conserve space.
2.6 _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n__F_i_l_e_s
This section lists installed files that can be edited to
contain site-specific changes.
SoftWindows2 maintains a system configuration file
/_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_S_o_f_t_W_i_n_d_o_w_s_2/_s_y_s._s_w_i_n_2_c_o_n_f_i_g. This file can be
used to effect the operational behavior of all users running
SoftWindows2 on the system.
The file /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_S_o_f_t_W_i_n_d_o_w_s_2/_s_w_i_n__h_i_n_t_s__v_i_e_w_e_d contains a
list of users that have seen the swin_hints file. If the
swin_hints file is changed, you can empty the viewed file so
that users will see the new swin_hints the next time they
run SoftWindows2
2.7 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_i_n_g__F_r_e_n_c_h__a_n_d__G_e_r_m_a_n__v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s
Follow these steps to install the French or German version
of Microsoft Windows:
1. Run inst or Software Manager as for a standard
installation of SoftWindows.
2. Make sure the subsystem _S_o_f_t_W_i_n_d_o_w_s_2._l_a_n_g._g_e_r_m_a_n or
_S_o_f_t_W_i_n_d_o_w_s_2._l_a_n_g._f_r_e_n_c_h is marked for installation.
3. Install.
4. Go to the directory /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_S_o_f_t_W_i_n_d_o_w_s_2.
5. Rename the directory _w_i_n_d_o_w_s to _w_i_n_d_o_w_s._b_a_k.
6. Rename the file _s_y_s._d_i_s_k_d_a_t_a to _s_y_s._d_i_s_k_d_a_t_a._b_a_k.

7. For the French installation, move the file
_s_y_s._d_i_s_k_d_a_t_a._f_r_n to _s_y_s._d_i_s_k_d_a_t_a, or for the German
installation, move _s_y_s._d_i_s_k_d_a_t_a._g_e_r to _s_y_s._d_i_s_k_d_a_t_a.
8. Rename _w_i_n_d_o_w_s._f_r_n (or _w_i_n_d_o_w_s._g_e_r for the German
version) to _w_i_n_d_o_w_s.
9. If you have a hard drive file (.hdf file) in your home
directory named _W_I_N_3_1_1-<_u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e>._h_d_f, rename it to
something else.
10. Start SoftWindows2 and it will create a new hard drive
for you with the new language installed.
