Gui-Mode Installation - Compaq t1000 - Terminal Thin Client PC Network Installation Manual

Directories are made as required, so a /T1500/root directory extraction will also
create /T1500. If the directory and/or file exist at the time the second section of the
installation is reached (querying for where to install), and if the user chooses to
overwrite the data (applies to install only, not to update), the files and/or directories
are removed prior to installing. This removes inappropriate files and directories
(such as from an aborted installation). Upgrades will remove inappropriate
(obsolete) files and directories as needed.
Yes/No/Quit-type questions have a [ynq] at the end of the message; there is
no default response.
File/directory-type questions list the default in square brackets []; there may
be some with no default response. A leading slash is required for all files and
directories.
If you desire to abort the installation, the INTERRUPT key will abort it before files
are copied. Interrupting after the file copy operation has started will result in an
incomplete installation. There is also a prompt after all the other prompts asking if
you want to extract the data. A yes response will initiate the copy operation, and a
no response will exit from the operation without updating your system.

GUI-Mode Installation

Upon execution of the install program, a background window is displayed which
should cover the entire display. Window manager decorations (such as the title bar
and buttons at the top of the window) will be displayed, but the program will ignore
minimize, maximize, resize, and delete events. Under certain circumstances, some
window managers will not always allow a child window to overlay the parent
window (such as the default window manager on UnixWare). Where this flaw has
been detected, the full-screen background window is not brought up.
Note
If the child window (the one with the text, check boxes,
and buttons) is obscured, the key combination Alt +
Tab can be used (multiple times if required) to bring it
forward.
