Non-standard HPUX installation

Chris Wilshaw — Mon, 27 May 2002 08:37:13 GMT

Is it possible to perform a customised install of HPUX, so that you can remove any unwanted "default" software/files from the system.

i.e. Can I install HP-UX, but exclude International options, man pages, audio subsystem, Xserver and X11?

I've had a look around in the advanced installtion, which has the option to use CDE (or not), but I can't see anything else that appears to do the trick.

Any advice would be appreciated, as would opinions on whether this is worth doing or not.

Thanks.

Under Advanced installation there is a software option, in there it lists all the filesets/bundles it will install and if I recall correctly you can deselect those that arent critical.

I don't recall that you can fine tune like that.

After all there are 600+ packages, we want to install quickly.

You should perhaps consider making a bootable media cd yourself with what you want.

Check IgniteUX from software.hp.com

Later,

Thanks for the 2 so far.

The software tab shows that the following are marked.

General Release Patches
Harware/Critical Patches
Unlimited User License.

I'm planning to use Ignite once I've got the first server built (I like unix, but I couldn't face 40 fully manual installations).
