Tips for Installing or Updating HP Applications
Here are some tips for installing or updating HP applications:
• HP-UX Applications DVDs have an ASCII file on each DVD called
TABLE_OF_CONTENTS that lists all software products delivered with
the Applications DVD. You can view this ASCII file with vi, emacs,
or any other text editor.
• To minimize the number of required reboots for installation of
applications and patches you can use the same swinstall session.
• For HP applications, documentation exists that explains how to
install and use an application. The documents may include release
notes, readme files, CD and DVD booklets, white papers, and guides.
Refer to the Instant Information CD or go to the HP Technical
Documentation Web site:
