Cold-Installing or Updating from DVD media
With the December 2002 release of HP-UX 11i, you can choose to either
cold-install or update from either CD-ROM or DVD media. Digital
Versatile Disks (DVD) provide you with several benefits compared to
CD-ROM:
• fewer disks containing all of the data needed to install or update to
HP-UX 11i
• no disks to shuffle during installation - all of the core HP-UX 11i
operating system software is contained on one DVD
• fewer installation steps
• shortened installation times
