Installing Solstice PPP 3.0.1

Installing Solstice PPP 3.0.1

This section tells you how to install Solstice PPP using pkgadd. For detailed instructions on using pkgadd and on installing from a remote CD-ROM drive, refer to the Software and AnswerBook Installation Guide.

To install the product software:

  1. Log in as root or become superuser.

  2. If you have already installed Solstice PPP, remove the SUNWpppk, SUNWpppr and SUNWpppu packages using pkgrm(1M):


    prompt# pkgrm SUNWpppk SUNWpppr SUNWpppu 
    
  3. Mount the CD-ROM on a local directory.

    • If the Volume Manager (vold) is running on your machine (the default), then the CD-ROM is mounted automatically under /cdrom/ppp_3_0_1 when it is loaded in the drive.

    • If the Volume Manager (vold) is not running on your machine, create a directory called /cdrom/ppp_3_0_1 and mount the CD-ROM manually:


      prompt# mkdir /cdrom/ppp_3_0_1
      prompt# mount -rF hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom/ppp_3_0_1
      

    This command assumes the target setting on your CD-ROM drive is number six (in the string c0t6d0s0).

  4. Start pkgadd:


    prompt# /usr/sbin/pkgadd --d /cdrom/ppp_3_0_1/cpu
    

    where cpu is sparc or x86, depending on your machine.

  5. Type in the numbers corresponding to the packages that you want to install, or press Return to install all of the packages.

    Respond to any prompts that appear on the command-line. To install the on-line product documentation, select the `heavy' AnswerBook installation. Specify a directory name or press Return to install the AnswerBook in the default directory. If you select a `nil' installation, you will subsequently require access to the CD-ROM to consult the AnswerBook.

  6. Type q to stop pkgadd when the installation is finished.

    Note that the list of available packages is displayed again when the installation is finished.

  7. Eject the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive:

    • If Volume Manager (vold) is running on your machine, the CD-ROM is unmounted automatically when it is ejected:


      prompt# eject cdrom
      
    • If Volume Manager (vold) is not running on your machine, unmount the CD-ROM manually before you eject it:


      prompt# umount /cdrom/ppp_3_0_1
      prompt# eject cdrom
      prompt# rmdir /cdrom/ppp_3_0_1
      
  8. Repeat this procedure for each machine on which you want to run Solstice PPP.
