NAME

       setup - invokes a system setup menu for console and workstation displays without graphics capabilities

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/setup

DESCRIPTION

       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  emu-
       lator,	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 site-specific setup procedures, you can install the scripts as described in the rele-
       vant reference page for a script.  Refer to the Installation Guide For information on installing the OSRETIREDxxx subsets.

   Using Quick Setup
       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  ini-
       tial 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  corre-
       sponding 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.

EXAMPLES

       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 fre-
       quently performed

       You can run Quick Setup to get a basic configuration and then use Custom Setup for any atypical configuration settings.

       1) Quick Setup 2) Custom Setup 3) Exit

       Please enter your selection:

       If you select Quick Setup, an Initializing message is displayed for several seconds, followed by the first prompt screen:
				  Tru64 UNIX: Quick Setup Quick Setup helps you set up a typical UNIX system.

       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 static network routing Step 4: Specify a Domain Name Service (DNS/BIND) server Step 5:
       Specify a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server Step 6: Specify a Network Information Service (NIS) server Step 7: Set up Network File  System
       (NFS) services Step 8: Specify an E-Mail server Step 9: Specify a default printer and its server
	******************************************************************************	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.

       Click on "Details..." to see the information Quick Setup requests.

       Click on "Next >" to start setting up this system.
