Installation and upgrade checklist
You will need this information to respond to prompts during the
installation.
If you do not record this information before starting, you might
have to stop the installation and start again from the beginning.
After installation, keep this checklist with your system log.

4. License number --------------------
Copy answers 4, 5, and 6 from --------------------
the Certificate of License and
Authenticity (COLA.) If you
are performing an Upgrade
installation, you must have the
license keys for both the
original system as well as the
upgrade.
5. License code --------------------
--------------------
6. License data --------------------
(This field appears only during --------------------
certain installations.)
7. Installation type [] Fresh
An Upgrade preserves your [] Upgrade (if
existing filesystems, but may system is suitable)
not provide all the new If upgrading, stop
functionality that a Fresh here and begin the
installation offers. (Some upgrade procedure.
systems cannot be upgraded.)
8. System name --------------------
Must be unique, begin with a
letter, and contain only
lowercase letters and numbers
(a maximum of 8 characters).
9. Domain name --------------------
10. Security profile [] High (above C2)
Use High for systems with [] Improved (C2)
confidential information and [] Traditional
many users, Improved for [] Low
systems with users who share
information, Traditional to
maintain compatibility with
existing UNIX systems, or Low
for systems not widely or
publically accessed.
11. Time zone Continent or
geographic area:
--------------------
Time zone name:
--------------------

observed?
[] Yes [] No
12. Language --------------------
If you will be running a
language product other than US
English (for example, French or
German), specify it here.
13. Initial system profile [] Standard system
Standard Enterprise installs [] Lightweight
all software except Microsoft character terminal
LAN Manager Client, SCO [] Database
Gateway, and PC-Interface® services (add to
Server. Lightweight character either Standard or
terminal also leaves out the Lightweight)
X11 server and clients,
graphical administration tools,
and the IPX/SPX runtime.
Database services adds the suds
driver for large database
products.
14. Hard disk setup, first disk [] Preserve (if
Preserve maintains current available)
partitions and divisions (some [] Use whole disk

19. Network card Vendor and model:
You do not need this --------------------
information if you Interrupt vector

20. IP address --------------------
Four decimal numbers
separated by periods (for
example, 132.145.80.9).
If you do not already
have an IP address, defer
network configuration.
21. Network mask --------------------
If you are not
configuring a subnetwork,
accept the default value.
22. Broadcast address --------------------
23. Domain name service (DNS) Gateway address:

information, see Chapter --------------------
5, ``Configuring Internet Secondary nameserver
Protocol (IP) routing'' address:
Enter the IP addresses of --------------------

name server creates a
default resolv.conf(SFF)
file. For more
information, see Chapter
6, ``Configuring the
Domain Name Service''
These fields are
optional. If no values
are entered, /etc/tcp
does not add a default
route (although routed is
started) and resolv.conf
is not created.

domains, or if your
systems currently use
sendmail. Otherwise,
choose MMDF. For more
information on sendmail
and the Internet Manager,
see Chapter 26,
``Configuring Internet
