Performing Silent Installation
Complete the steps in the following procedures.
Creating Specification Files
To perform a silent installation, you must first create a file containing installation
specifications. For a silent installation specification file template, refer to
setup_data/typical.ins under the directory where you unpacked the software.
You may create a silent installation specification file either by editing a copy of the
template file by hand, or by performing interactive configuration using the
installation program.
1. Become super user.
2. Start the installation program with the -saveState option.
root# ./setup -saveState filename
to create the specification file, filename.
3. Perform interactive installation.
4. Adjust the specification file, filename, before using it to install on other systems.
Some silent installation specification file directives, such as
FullMachineName,
depend directly on the underlying host system and so cannot be generated
generically.
Silent installation specification files contain a checksum string corresponding tothe
build version of the install program. To reuse a silent installation specification file
with a differentbuild or release of the install program,update the checksum string
in lines beginning with
[STATE_BEGIN and [STATE_DONE. The updated checksum
can be found in
typical.ins. Code Example 1-1 on page 30 shows a sample
checksum.
Installing Using the Specification Files
1. Verify the changes made to the installation specification file.
2. Start the installation program in silent mode.
NOTE Specification files may contain passwords in clear text. Protect such
files with appropriate file permissions.
