The Software Selection window appears with the Specify Source dialog superimposed
over it.
Step II: Select Source
In this step, you must specify the source depot that contains the software you want to
install. The Specify Source dialog (Figure 2-1: “Specify Source Dialog ”,) automatically
lists the local host and default depot path.
(This step is skipped if you include the -s source option when you invoke the GUI.)
