3.2.3 Starting a Tru64 UNIX Installation
Tru64 UNIX can be installed from the CD-ROM drive connected to the
system or from a Remote Installation Services (RIS) server over a local
area network. The user interface that you see after you boot your
system depends on whether your system console is a VGA monitor or a
serial terminal.
To install the operating system from a RIS server, you must first register your
system as a RIS client. Refer to the Tru64 UNIX Sharing Software on a Local
Area Network manual for information about setting up and using RIS and the
Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide - Advanced Topics manual for information
about installing Tru64 UNIX from a RIS server.
3.2.3.1 NHD4 and IPK Compatibility
You must install the NHD4 kit during a full installation of the operating system
on a DS20L system. The kernel modules for the DS20L are included in the
NHD4 kit. When you install NHD4, you must also install the most current
TRU64 UNIX patch kit before you return your system to production. It does not
matter which one you install first.
