Installation Prompts

The dce_config script prompts for information common to all component installations. If you are installing DCE for the first time, you will receive all these prompts. If you have completely removed a previous installation or if you have continued an installation in a new dce_config session, you will receive only some of the prompts.

The common prompts you can receive are:

· A prompt to remove all previous DCE installations

· A prompt for message catalog locations

· If your machine has an existing zoneinfo directory, a prompt to remind you create a link to the new zoneinfo directory

· A prompt for the machine's Ethernet address

· A prompt for whether or not to execute the OSF/1 lib_admin tool

Each prompt is described in the following topics.
