Checking Installation Requirements
Before installing the dstool program, you must have the following hardware and software:
- A Sun 4 or SPARCstation. The dstool program will execute on a system with as
little as 8 MBytes of memory, but at least 16 MBytes is suggested for reasonable performance.
Additional CPU memory will significantly enhance the performance of dstool.
- The standard release of the Sun operating system,Sun OS 4.1 or later, must be resident
before dstool can be installed.1
- In this document, we will presume that OpenWindows
1#1
software, Version 2.0,
is installed on the workstation and the user's OPENWINHOME environment variable is properly defined.
For more information on setting this environment variable and use of the OpenWindows package,
consult the OpenWindows Installation and Start-Up Guide document.
- Sufficient disk space. In order to install dstool, you need at least 2.4 MBytes of disk space.
Once installation is complete, a working, minimum-size configuration of dstool requires 1 MByte.
