- This program allows you to customize your Xenix installation to fit your
- current needs and avoid the overhead of unnecessary files. You may install
- selected portions of the Xenix system, known as 'packages', or you may remove
- packages you have already installed. The Xenix system is divided into three
- sets: Operating System, Development System, and Text Processing System.
- You may add additional supported products and customize them as you would
- the Xenix sets, installing only those portions you need, when you need them.
-
- Each set is subdivided into one or more separately installable packages to
- provide you with precise control over the completeness and size of your system.
-
- To INSTALL one or more packages, select option 1 and enter the names of
- the packages to install, separated by spaces. The package names may be upper
- or lower case. You will be prompted to insert all the necessary disks.
-
- To REMOVE one or more packages which you have already installed, choose
- option 2 and enter the names of the packages, separated by spaces. The files
- which are a part of the specified packages will be removed from your hard disk.
-
- To LIST the packages in your current set, choose option 3; to list all
- the files and directories that comprise a particular package, choose option 4;
- to add a single file, choose option 5.
-
- Press <RETURN> to continue
- To SELECT a new set to customize, choose option 6. Custom will prompt
- you for a set to customize. Choose a set and wait a few moments while custom
- figures out which packages in that set are already installed. You may only
- customize one set at a time.
-
- To ADD a Supported Product, choose option 4. You will be prompted to
- insert volume 1 from your distribution, from which custom will extract all the
- information it requires to customize the product. You may then choose to
- install part or all of the product. Your new product will thereafter appear in
- the custom set selection menu.
-
- You may install or remove as many packages as you wish, as frequently as
- you find necessary. If you need additional details, see the manual page for
- custom(C).
