UnixWare 7.0.1 OS Update Packages September 3, 1998 --------------------------------- This directory contains the packages and documentation needed to update a system running UnixWare 7 to UnixWare 7.0.1. The in-depth documentation containing detailed information about these updates with installation instructions will be found in the Release Notes document in this directory. Since the Release Notes assume that you are installing from a CD-ROM, there are some modifications to these installation instructions included below. The packages are in datastream format. The files in this directory are: Release Notes: - rtrnotes.txt: The English version of the UW 7.0.1 Release notes. This contains installation instructions, and other valuable information about this release. - de_notes.txt: es_notes.txt: fr_notes.txt: The German, Spanish, and French language versions of the UW 7.0.1 Release Notes mentioned above. OS Update Package: - update701.pkg: Contains new OS functionality, and lots of fixes for UW 7 problems as well. Graphics Update Packages: - README.basex.701a: README.xclients.701a: README.xserver.701a: Documenatation for Graphics update packages. - basex.701a.pkg: xclients.701a.pkg: xserver.701a.pkg: Graphics update packages for UW 7.0.1. Driver Update Packages: - README.hba_set.txt: README.audio.701a: README.nics.701a: README.xdrivers.701a: Documentation for Driver Update packages. - hba_set.pkg: Updated and new HBA drivers for UW 7.0.1 with This is a set of HBA packages. - audio.701a.pkg: Audio drivers update package. - nics.701a.pkg: Network drivers update package. - xdrivers.701a.pkg: Graphics drivers update package. Documentation Update Packages: - BASEdoc.pkg: deBASEdoc.pkg: esBASEdoc.pkg: frBASEdoc.pkg: Updates to the BASEdoc packages in the English, German, Spanish, and French languages. - BASEman.pkg: Updates to the BASEman package (English only). Checking the Integrity of your Downloaded Software -------------------------------------------------- Once you have FTP'd these packages to your system, the integrity of the transfer should be checked before the packages are installed. This can be done by running the "sum -r" Unix command; e.g. sum -r update701.pkg This will output two numbers. The first, on the left, will be the checksum for the file. The second, on the right, will be the number of blocks read. The important number to check is the number on the left, the checksum. The following lists the results that you will get if the transfers worked properly. If the checksums that you get differ from this list, please repeat the transfer, and check again: 12522 404 rtrnotes.txt 00900 474 de_notes.txt 30951 469 es_notes.txt 30742 478 fr_notes.txt 07498 49115 update701.pkg 17104 2685 basex.701a.pkg 59317 1457 xclients.701a.pkg 25248 7195 xserver.701a.pkg 31792 3691 hba_set.pkg 18172 879 audio.701a.pkg 00556 5686 nics.701a.pkg 55180 4086 xdrivers.701a.pkg 53539 23733 BASEdoc.pkg 49688 5633 deBASEdoc.pkg 53016 5559 esBASEdoc.pkg 07837 5625 frBASEdoc.pkg 44998 57178 BASEman.pkg Additional Installation Instructions for these Updates ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 3 of the Release notes (rtrnotes.txt in this directory) assumes that you are installing from a CD-ROM. Since you are really installing the packages that you have downloaded, the installation instructions must be modified somewhat. It is important to note that the following modifications need to be used in conjunction with Chapter 3 of the Release Notes, they are not intended to be standalone instructions. 1. Installation of the update701 package (single user mode). The downloaded update701 package must be placed in a directory on a hard disk that's accessible in single user mode. If you get to single user mode by following the instructions in the Release Notes, all your usual filesystems will still be mounted. You can check this with the "mount" command with no arguments. However, if you arrived at single user mode another way, and you don't have enough space on root but you do have enough space on another filesystem, then you can mount that filesystem while in single user mode using the "mount" command (assuming that the filesystem is normally mounted using /etc/vfstab); e.g. mount /xtra will mount the filesystem /xtra so it will be accessible. Then, you can install the update701 package: pkgadd -d /path/update701.pkg update701 where "path" is the full path from root to where the update701.pkg datastream is. 2. Installing other update packages. Since you've downloaded a datastream for each package, you have two simple alternatives. You can follow the Application Installer instructions in the Release Notes, but you will need to transform all of your datastream packages into file system format packages. This is easy to do via the "pkgtrans" command; e.g. for the BASEman package: pkgtrans /path1/BASEman.pkg /path2 update701 will generate a filesystem format BASEman package that the Application Installer can view. Path1 here is the full path to the BASEman.pkg, and path2 is the full path to where the filesystem format BASEman package will be put by pkgtrans. These paths can be the same if desired. Once you've done this with all of the datastream packages, then you can pick and choose using the Application Installer by choosing "Other" from the "Install From:" pulldown menu, and giving /path2 is the path there. The other choice is to use pkgadd to directly install the datastream packages that you want to install: pkgadd -d /path1/BASEman.pkg BASEman where, again, path1 is the full path from root to where the BASEman.pkg datastream package is on your system. For the HBA set (hba_set.pkg), when you invoke pkgadd to install from it, you'll be taken through the set installation screens since this is actually a set of HBA packages.
