Installation Notes

Many of the SCO Skunkware 96 software packages can be installed using SCO custom. To install using custom, as root execute the SCO custom utility (/etc/custom). Select "Software -> Install New" from the main menu. Next, select "Continue" to install from the local host. In the "Media Device" pull-down menu, select "Media Images" and then "Continue". Type in the location of the SCO Skunkware 96 CD-ROM mount point followed by "/inst/All" (e.g. /cdrom/inst/All or /mnt/inst/All).

If you wish to install all of the SCO Skunkware 96 custom-installable packages onto your hard disk, select "Full" (requires 80 Mb free disk space in /opt which is typically on the root filesystem).

If you would like to view the list of custom-installable componenents, select "Partial". Select the package you would like to install and click "Install".

Alternatively, the Bourne Shell script INSTALL illustrates how to install individual packages non-interactively via the SCO custom command line.

Many other software packages have not been packaged for installation with SCO custom. Several of these can be installed by unpacking the built source distribution and, as root, issuing the command "make install". For instance, to install the INN InterNetNews system, perform the following as root (assuming the SCO Skunkware 96 CD-ROM is mounted on /cdrom) :

	# cd /tmp
	# gzcat /cdrom/src/Tools/inn-1.4sec.tar.gz | tar xf -
	# cd inn-1.4sec
	# make install

In order to easily access many of the installed SCO Skunkware 96 components, you may wish to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH and /usr/local/man to your MANPATH. For instance, a Bourne shell user could add the following to their $HOME/.profile :

	PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
	MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/man
	export PATH MANPATH

Finally, almost all of the software packages included on this CD-ROM contain a README and/or INSTALL file containing instructions for obtaining, extracting, building, and installing the software. In many cases, i have also provided a ReadMe.html document relating this information as well. I have tried to leave these descriptive documents (and man pages) unextracted in the respective source directory. For instance, to read about the Washington University FTP Server (wu-ftpd), see the wu-ftpd-2.4 source directory. To install wu-ftpd, see the wu-ftpd-2.4 compressed archive and follow instructions similar to that given above for inn-1.4.
