Install Guide

NOTE: When Server Administrator is installed on a system, dependency issues related to RPMs may occur. To

resolve these issues, install the missing RPMs from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/

opensourcecomponents. If the RPMs are not available in this directory, install these RPMs from the operating

system media. If not available on the media, search for these RPMs on the Internet.
