Installation of Solstice NFS Client 3.1
The procedure to install the "Solstice NFS Client 3.1" on Windows95 and Windows NT4 is almost identical.
| Evaluation copy: (downloaded from the SUN-Website) |
run/start the downloaded file |
| Licensed copy: | insert the CD-ROM, the auto-play
feature will start the installation process |
Note: for easier navigation, the "Next"
and "Back" button in the
screen-dumps below are active.
1) |
On startup of the "Solstice NFS Client 3.1" installation, there is first the usual "Welcome" (which I have skipped here). Then, you need to enter the User-Information: - your name - company Do you have a "license" : Yes: enter it (it is usually a code like:"np 1234 5678..."), then press "next" no: select to make an evaluation-installation by clicking on "Evaluation" |
2) |
You choose to install an Evaluation copy: Read carefully the "30 day Evaluation Software License Agreement" You can click on "back" to repeat this step, "no" will abort the installation, or "Yes" that you agree and like to continue the installation. |
3) |
It is suggested to install "Solstice" to its default directory, so just click on "next" |
4) |
If you install the Evaluation download, you can select a "typical" installation. when installing the licensed copy, i suggest to select the "custom" installation radio-button and then to select "Next" to continue |
5) |
The "Custom" installation allows to select, whether to install additional "Internet Applications" and/or "PC-Xware", an X-terminal emulation allowing to run UNIX-X-Windows applications on your Windows PC-screen (on most UNIX systems, this will require an additional seat-license !) Unless you have a good reason to keep them, deactivate these 2 option so save some disk-storage capacity. Select "next" to continue. |
6) |
You are asked to define the location and size of the "Cache". For now, keep the suggested defaults and select "next" to continue. |
7) |
Keep also the defaults on this screen, select "next " to continue. |
8) |
If you have a "License
Server", you can activate it here (for details, contact your UNIX-system administrator). Select "next" to continue |
9) |
To make management of resources easier, some UNIX System offer "NIS": Network Information System (previously also called "Yellow Pages"). If your UNIX system does not support it (or you do not like to use it), choose: "Windows Default" (which is then using the Windows-PC "hosts" file for name resolution) Select "next" to continue. |
10) |
We are finally done answering all these questions. A last "Confirmation" screen, allowing us still to change the setup by selecting "back" or to select "Next" to continue. |
11) |
The system will start installing the "Solstice Program Files" |
12) |
The system will configure the "Solstice Network Components" |
13) |
Like usual on installing new network-components, you are requested to "Restart" your system. I suggest NOT to restart, but first to check your Network-configuration, adjust it and THEN to reboot. Select "Finish" to continue |
| Done! |
