Example of a "typical" UNIX/Linux installation

hazel.nascom.nasa.gov> csh -f ssw_install960530_054937.csh

The output from the installation script allows you to track the progress if desired, or you can just ignore it. The actual output from this particular installation command (csh -f ...) is shown below with annotated comments shown in a font like this Of course, actual output is sensitive to the SSW configuration which you specified in the FORM in step 1 above.

Generating ftp transfer script
Starting ftp transfer of installation package: ssw_install.tar.Z
 The current SSW installation package is always copied - this allows 
"transparent" procedure changes

Transferring control to: /usr/users/freeland/ssw/offline/swmaint/script/ssw_inst
all.control

Starting transfer of file: ls.current
Map of current tar file sizes on the SSW host is used to verify that 
files are transfered properly - up to 10 (adjustable default) automatic 
retries for each file are attempted to allow for intermittent connections
Requested software sets: ssw_ssw_site ssw_ssw_unsupport ssw_soho_eit ssw_soho_ge
n ssw_ssw_gen ssw_yohkoh_sxt ssw_yohkoh_gen
Requested database sets: ssw_ydb_g75 ssw_ydb_gev ssw_ydb_nar


Local disk space is checked prior to file copies 
Available disk space under SSW (1024 byte blocks): 179956
Total size of requested compressed tar files:     46532
Total size required by installation (w/buffer):   51185

A script is now built from local tar or compressed tar 
files to make network and tape installations consistent
