Staging products and packages on an install server

An install server can also be configured to serve the entire UnixWare system, or to serve individual packages. Those packages can then be installed by following the instructions in ``Installing software (Application Installer)''.

To add packages or the UnixWare system to your install server:

1. Start the Install Server by entering /usr/X/bin/Install_Server at a graphical terminal (xterm) prompt.

2. Select Actions Disable .

3. If the product or package(s) you want to load onto the install server are provided on media (CD-ROM, cartridge tape, or disk), insert the media.

4. From the Packages menu:

   • To add UnixWare to your install server, select Load System.

   • To add additional packages to your install server, select Load Add-On Package.

   The Load Package window is displayed.
