Packages and sets can be installed from CD-ROM, cartridge tape, disk, or over a network from an already configured ``install server''. An install server is a UnixWare server that is configured to provide software products and packages to other systems in the network. Once an install server is configured, subsequent software installation of additional machines can be performed over the network.
Network installation is particularly useful if you have to install the same packages on many machines, or if your network includes multiple sites. Network installation removes the need to transport media from site to site.
The entire UnixWare system can be installed over the network. Although this requires the install and network installation floppy disks, no other installation media (CD-ROM, cartridge tape, or disk) is needed. This provides an efficient way to install UnixWare, especially if the system you are installing on does not have a CD-ROM or cartridge tape drive.
