XINSTALL(1M)         INTERACTIVE UNIX System         XINSTALL(1M)



          NAME
               xinstall - XENIX installation shell script

          SYNOPSIS
               /etc/xinstall [ device ]

          DESCRIPTION
               /etc/xinstall is the sh(1) script used to install XENIX dis-
               tribution (or application program) floppies.  It performs
               the following tasks:

               - Prompts for insertion of floppies.

               - Extracts files using the tar(1) utility.

               - Executes /once/init.* programs on each floppy
                 after they have been extracted.

               - Removes any /once/init.* programs when the
                 installation is finished.


               The optional argument to the command specifies the device
               used.  The default device is /dev/xinstall and is normally
               linked to /dev/rdsk/f0q15dt.

          FILES
               /etc/xinstall

               /once/init.*

          SEE ALSO

               xinstall is provided for use with any existing XENIX pack-
               ages you may have that you wish to install on the UNIX
               operating system. xinstall does not work with UNIX system
