Installation guide

2 The DIGITAL UNIX directory structure contains the /home directory.
On DIGITAL UNIX systems, this directory is intended to be used to
contain the home directories for users. For example, the home
directory for a user named Ross might be /home/ross. See your
system administrator for the actual location of your home directory.
3 The DIGITAL UNIX directory structure contains the /sbin and
/usr/sbin directories. The /sbin directory contains commands that
system administrators use when the system is in single-user mode;
/usr/sbin contains commands administrators use in multiuser mode.
4 The DIGITAL UNIX directory structure does not contain the
/usr/etc or /usr/ucb directories. Most commands that reside in
these directories on an ULTRIX system are, on the DIGITAL UNIX
system, in the /usr/bin directory. This change should not affect you,
but you should remove /usr/ucb and /usr/etc from your path
definition and add /usr/bin.
Other than these differences, you should notice no difference between the
directory structures on the ULTRIX and DIGITAL UNIX systems during
daily use.
2.3 Differences in User Applications and Commands
The following list describes the user applications that are packaged on the
DIGITAL UNIX system:
• Bookreader
The Bookreader program for DIGITAL UNIX workstations has a user
interface based on Motif, and is similar to the Bookreader program on
ULTRIX workstations. For information about using Bookreader, see
dxbook
(1X) or start the Bookreader program and read its online help
information.
• Calculators
The bc and dc calculators are the same on the DIGITAL UNIX system
as they are on the ULTRIX system. The DIGITAL UNIX system does
not supply the DECwindows Calculator program dxcalc. Use the
xcalc program instead; a link from dxcalc to xcalc is provided. For
information about using these calculator programs, see bc
(1), dc(1), and
xcalc
(1X).
• Calendar
The Calendar program for DIGITAL UNIX workstations has a user
interface based on Motif, and is similar to the one on ULTRIX
workstations. For information about using the Calendar program, see
dxcalendar
(1X) or start the Calendar program and read its online help
information.
