1. Clicking on the field beside Source Depot Type displays a choice of
Local CDROM, Local Directory, Local Tape, or Network
Directory/CDROM. The latter category will get a remote source for
the update.
2. If the source depot/host name filled in is not the one you want, enter
the correct one. Alternatively, you may use the IP address for a host.
3. If you click on Source Depot Path, you will get a listing of available
depots on the source you have just specified. Select the correct depot.
If the source is a tape device, you may need to type the device file
name. The mount point for a CD-ROM should already exist as
/SD_CDROM, if the system was cold-installed. For more detail, see the
man page swreg(1m).
4. If you wish to limit the listing, click on Software Filter to see the
list of filter protocols available.
5. Click on OK.
You will see the Software Selection screen next.
