Installing Sun SPARCsystem Software
This section shows you how to install the Graphical User Interface on Sun
SPARCsystem workstations. These instructions also tell you how not to
install the Graphical User Interface if you want to use just the conventional
Softkey Interface.
This section shows you how to:
Install the software from the media.
1
Start the X server and OpenWindows.
2
Set the necessary environment variables.
3
Verify the software installation.
4
Map your function keys.

Step 1. Install the software from the media
The tape that contains the Graphical User Interface software may contain
several products. Usually, you will want to install all of the products on the
tape. However, to save disk space, or for other reasons, you can choose to
install selected filesets.
If you plan on using the conventional Softkey Interface instead of the
Graphical User Interface, you can save about 3.5 megabytes of disk space by
not installing the XUI suffixed filesets. (Also, if you choose not to install the
Graphical User Interface, you will not have to use a special command line
option to start the Softkey Interface.)
Refer to the Software Installation Notice for software installation
instructions. After you are done installing the software, return here.
