Installing HP 9000 Software

This section shows you how to install the Graphical User Interface on HP 9000
workstations. These instruction 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:
1 Install the software from the media.
2 Verify the software installation.
3 Start the X server and the Motif Window Manager (mwm), or start HP VUE.
4 Set the necessary environment variables.
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 will use the Softkey Interface instead of the Graphical User Interface, do not
install the XUI suffixed filesets in the "64700 Operating Environment" and
"<processor-type> Emulation Tools" partitions. (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 information on updating HP-UX in your HP-UX documentation for
instructions on viewing partitions and filesets and marking filesets that should not
be loaded.
The following sub-steps assume that you want to install all products on the tape.
1 Become the root user on the system you want to update.
