HP-UX 11i June 2001 Release Notes

Installation
Software Distributor (SD-UX) (new at 11i original release)
Chapter 6132
Change in swlist to Hide Superseded Patches by
Default
In 11.0, swlist shows all installed patches including superseded ones.
The 11i default behavior is to not show superseded patches. This can be
overcome, returning to 11.0 standard behavior, by setting
-x show_superseded_patches=true on the swlist command line or in
the defaults files.
Determining 64-bit Capability from System, Not
.supported_bits
In 11.0, SD-UX reads the /etc/.supported_bits file to map model
strings to either 32, 32/64, or 64 bit capability. From time to time,
synchronization breakdowns between the model command and the
contents of /etc/.supported_bits create trouble on 64-bit systems.
For 11i, SD-UX is changed to get the necessary information directly from
the system, rather than using a look-up table. This will prevent
synchronization breakdowns.
Searching for CD Only When Requested
SD-UX introduced the automatic discovery and mounting of a CD with
the release of 11.0.However, SD-UX always looked for the CD even if that
was not what was wanted. That made the start-up of the GUI slower
than necessary.
The functionality is still available in the GUI, but now SD-UX only
performs this action when you push a new button in the Source Dialog
called “Find Local CD”.
Streamlined GUI
For 11i, the SD-UX GUI requires fewer confirmations. It has been
streamlined to reduce the number of verification and informational
popups.
Shows Products Rather than Bundles After
Auto-Selection
In 11.0, GUI software selection using “Match What Target Has” or
