setup(8)
NAME
setup - invokes a system setup menu for console and workstation displays
without graphics capabilities
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/setup
DESCRIPTION
Use this application to do initial installation and configuration of your
system. You must have superuser or root privileges to invoke the Setup
menu.
If your system does not have graphics capabilities, or if you are using a
remote character-cell terminal window such as a PC terminal emulator, use
the Setup menu to invoke the Custom Setup menu and use its various system
setup applications to set up your Tru64 UNIX system for general use.
In this release, invoking Setup runs the Custom Setup interfaces, which are
character-cell variants of the SysMan tools that you can use to configure
and manage your system. These interfaces can also be invoked in a window
environment on a PC or on other X-compliant window environments. The
available menu options depend on which subsets were installed during system
installation. Refer to the Methods chapter of the System Administration for
additional information.
In previous releases, invoking the Setup menu provided access to scripts
which prompted you to enter configuration information, such as a TCP/IP
address during network configuration (netsetup). These scripts enabled you
to set up subsystems -- networking, printers, and mail, add user accounts,
install Product Authorization Keys (PAKs), and so on.
If you require the original scripts to support your site-specific setup
procedures, you can install the scripts as described in the relevant
reference page for a script. Refer to the Installation Guide For
information on installing the OSRETIREDxxx subsets.
Using Quick Setup
If your system has graphics capabilities, the preferred method to perform
system setup is through the Custom Setup Checklist as follows:
· After a full installation, the Quick Setup interface is displayed
automatically. Quick Setup is a step-by-step procedure that prompts
you for the basic information required to configure your system for
use. This option is particularly convenient and fast for a desktop
system, and for users who are not very experienced in configuring
systems. Note that Quick Setup is primarily used to configure the
network and related subsystems. You may also need to manually
configure other subsystems or add options later. (For example, If
your system is a client in a client-server environment, you may need
to re-run certain applications later to add alternative host servers.)
To do this, you use the Custom Setup described in the next section.
· At any other time after installation, the Custom Setup Checklist is
provided for initial configuration or modification of a subsystem. You
can still opt for an automated Quick Setup, or choose Custom Setup for
larger system configurations or specific site requirements. Custom
Setup allows you to select applications from the checklist by clicking
on the corresponding icon. When you choose an application, the
appropriate application from the Custom Setup menu will be invoked.
To invoke the Custom Setup Checklist from the command line, enter
/usr/sbin/checklist.
Note that online help is available when using the interfaces, and you
should refer to the appropriate user guides in the documentation set for
additional information.
EXAMPLES
This example invokes the Setup menu from the root system prompt:
# /usr/sbin/setup
A menu similar to the following is displayed:
Tru64 UNIX: Custom Setup
Tru64 UNIX Custom Setup helps you set up your system.
Quick Setup leads you through a set of steps to set up a typical UNIX
system. This includes networking, user services, time services, printers,
and other basics.
Custom Setup examines your system and lists the relevant tasks for
configuring your computer. These tasks are listed in the order most
frequently performed
You can run Quick Setup to get a basic configuration and then use Custom
Setup for any atypical configuration settings.
1) Quick Setup
2) Custom Setup
3) Exit
Please enter your selection:
If you select Quick Setup, an Initializing message is displayed for several
seconds, followed by the first prompt screen:
Tru64 UNIX: Quick Setup
Quick Setup helps you set up a typical UNIX system.
It leads you step by step through the following common tasks:
******************************************************************************
Step 1: Enter basic license information
Step 2: Set up the system's Network Interface Card (NIC)
Step 3: Set up static network routing
Step 4: Specify a Domain Name Service (DNS/BIND) server
Step 5: Specify a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
Step 6: Specify a Network Information Service (NIS) server
Step 7: Set up Network File System (NFS) services
Step 8: Specify an E-Mail server
Step 9: Specify a default printer and its server
******************************************************************************
You can skip any step. No action is performed until you review
and approve a summary of the setup at the end of Quick Setup.
Click on "Details..." to see the information Quick Setup requests.
Click on "Next >" to start setting up this system.
