setup - invokes a system setup menu for console and workstation
displays without graphics capabilities
/usr/sbin/setup
Use this application to do initial installation and configuration
of your system. You must have superuser or root
privileges to invoke the Setup menu.
If your system does not have graphics capabilities, or if
you are using a remote character-cell terminal window such
as a PC terminal emulator, use the Setup menu to invoke
the Custom Setup menu and use its various system setup
applications to set up your Tru64 UNIX system for general
use.
In this release, invoking Setup runs the Custom Setup
interfaces, which are character-cell variants of the SysMan
tools that you can use to configure and manage your
system. These interfaces can also be invoked in a window
environment on a PC or on other X-compliant window environments.
The available menu options depend on which subsets
were installed during system installation. Refer to
the Methods chapter of the System Administration for additional
information.
In previous releases, invoking the Setup menu provided
access to scripts which prompted you to enter configuration
information, such as a TCP/IP address during network
configuration (netsetup). These scripts enabled you to set
up subsystems -- networking, printers, and mail, add user
accounts, install Product Authorization Keys (PAKs), and
so on.
If you require the original scripts to support your sitespecific
setup procedures, you can install the scripts as
described in the relevant reference page for a script.
Refer to the Installation Guide For information on
installing the OSRETIREDxxx subsets.
Using Quick Setup [Toc] [Back]
If your system has graphics capabilities, the preferred
method to perform system setup is through the Custom Setup
Checklist as follows: After a full installation, the
Quick Setup interface is displayed automatically. Quick
Setup is a step-by-step procedure that prompts you for the
basic information required to configure your system for
use. This option is particularly convenient and fast for
a desktop system, and for users who are not very experienced
in configuring systems. Note that Quick Setup is
primarily used to configure the network and related subsystems.
You may also need to manually configure other
subsystems or add options later. (For example, If your
system is a client in a client-server environment, you may
need to re-run certain applications later to add alternative
host servers.) To do this, you use the Custom Setup
described in the next section. At any other time after
installation, the Custom Setup Checklist is provided for
initial configuration or modification of a subsystem. You
can still opt for an automated Quick Setup, or choose Custom
Setup for larger system configurations or specific
site requirements. Custom Setup allows you to select
applications from the checklist by clicking on the corresponding
icon. When you choose an application, the
appropriate application from the Custom Setup menu will be
invoked.
To invoke the Custom Setup Checklist from the command
line, enter /usr/sbin/checklist.
Note that online help is available when using the interfaces,
and you should refer to the appropriate user guides
in the documentation set for additional information.
This example invokes the Setup menu from the root system
prompt: # /usr/sbin/setup
A menu similar to the following is displayed:
Tru64 UNIX: Custom Setup
Tru64 UNIX Custom Setup helps you set up your system.
Quick Setup leads you through a set of steps to set up a
typical UNIX system. This includes networking, user services,
time services, printers, and other basics.
Custom Setup examines your system and lists the relevant
tasks for configuring your computer. These tasks are
listed in the order most frequently performed
You can run Quick Setup to get a basic configuration and
then use Custom Setup for any atypical configuration settings.

Please enter your selection:
If you select Quick Setup, an Initializing message is displayed
for several seconds, followed by the first prompt
screen:

It leads you step by step through the following common
tasks:
******************************************************************************
Step 1: Enter basic license information Step 2: Set up the
system's Network Interface Card (NIC) Step 3: Set up

You can skip any step. No action is performed until you
review and approve a summary of the setup at the end of
Quick Setup.
