SETUP(8S)

NAME
setup - Sun UNIX installation program

SYNOPSIS
setup

DESCRIPTION

setup is the program supplied by Sun to install major Sun Unix releases such as 2.0 or 3.0. setup allows a system administrator to install major Sun Unix release on new hardware, upgrade between major releases, and add additional hardware to existing machines.

setup provide both a tty interface for cursor addressable terminals and a SunWindows system interface for use on bit mapped displays. The Setup Reference Manual contains a detailed description of the use of setup.

Initially, setup asks the following questions in a menu format before entering the tty or SunWindows interface. For all menus respond to the >> prompt with the corresponding number of the menu item you choose.

The first question asked is the mode of use of setup.
    Are you running setup:
    	1) to install on a new system
    	2) re-entrantly
    	3) to upgrade an existing system
    	4) in demonstration mode
    >>
The next question is to determine the type of interface to be used. Note that the cursor addressable interface can be used within a shelltool(1) under SunWindows.
    Will you be running setup from:
    	1) a Sun bit mapped display device
    	2) a cursor addressable terminal
    >>
If you have selected the tty interface for cursor addressable terminals, setup asks for the terminal type.
    Select your terminal type:
    	1) Televideo 925
    	2) Wyse Model 50
    	3) Sun Workstation
    	4) Other
    >>
If you select "Other", the name of the terminal must correspond to a name in the termcap(5) database.
    Enter the terminal type (your terminal type must be in /etc/termcap):
    >>
setup begins running the interface for the terminal-type you have selected.
