System and Cold-Install Requirements
To cold-install HP-UX 11i v1.6, you must have the following:
• Supported system
• HP-UX 11i v1.6 OE and application media (two DVD set)
• 512 MB memory, minimum
• 1 GB swap space, minimum
Extra space
needed with TCOE
and MTOE
Cold-installing the HP-UX 11i Technical Computing OE and the
Minimal Technical OE installs all CDE languages, rather than just a
selected language. To remove unneeded CDE language bundles after
installing the TCOE or MTOE, list them using swlist and remove
unneeded bundles using swremove. See Chapter 4, “Verifying System
Installation,” on page 71 for example uses of swlist and swremove.
