1. Clicking on the field beside Source Depot Type displays a choice of
Local CDROM, Local Directory, Local Tape, or Network
Directory/CDROM. The latter category will get a remote source for
the update.
2. If the source depot/host name filled in is not the one you want, enter
the correct one. You may also use the IP address for a host.
3. If you click on Source Depot Path, you will get a listing of available
depots on the source you have just specified. If the source is a tape
device, you may need to type the device file name. The mount point
for a CD-ROM should already exist as /SD_CDROM, if the system was
cold-installed. For more detail, see the man page swreg(1m).
4. If you wish to limit the listing, click on Software Filter to see the list
of filters protocols available. At the same time, you can select one or
none.
5. Click on OK.
You will next see the Software Selection screen.
For More Information For information on the options for swinstall, and to change the degree
