minst minst
NAME
minst - load and install products from distribution media
SYNOPSIS
minst [AA]
DESCRIPTION
Minst loads software products from distribution media into an Authorized
Area at the pathname AA. After products have been loaded into the
Authorized Area, minst optionally installs them from that Authorized Area
to one or more target directories. It takes one optional argument to
specify the pathname of an Authorized Area into which products are to be
loaded. If the optional argument is omitted, you are prompted for the
pathname.
The minst tool is interactive and presents a series of questions. Your
answers to the questions determine whether the Authorized Area loading
phase will be followed by node installation, and whether multiple pro-
ducts will be loaded and installed.
EXAMPLES
The following examples illustrate the use of minst.
minst //color
This command loads software into the Authorized Area located at the node
entry level on the node //color.
minst //color/disk1
This command loads software into the Authorized Area located in the sub-
