Installing AIX 4.3 man Pages -- Mounting Base Documentation CD-ROM


Environment

OS Level: AIX Version 4.3.0

Problem

How do you install man pages from and mount the Base Documentation CD-ROM?

Solution

These are the only filesets needed on the system to run man pages:

  bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds1  4.3.0.1 AIX Commands Reference 1 - U.S.
  bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds2  4.3.0.1 AIX Commands Reference 2 -
  bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds3  4.3.0.1 AIX Commands Reference 3 -
  bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds4  4.3.0.1 AIX Commands Reference 4 -
  bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds5  4.3.0.1 AIX Commands Reference 5 - U.S.
  bos.html.en_US.cmds.cmds6  4.3.0.1 AIX Commands Reference 6 -
  bos.html.en_US.nav         4.3.0.1 Online Navigation        - U.S.
  bos.html.en_US.topnav.navigate

You can also mount the AIX 4.3 Base Documentation CD-ROM over /infocd and run /infocd/linkbasecd. This will link all the indexes on the CD-ROM and configure it so that you can run AIX 4.3 Base Documentation via a web browser. After the CD-ROM is mounted and configured, start your web browser and point it to:

/usr/share/man/info/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixgen/topnav/topnav.htm

This will provide you with man pages as well as access to the Base Documentation Library.

If you are running CDE, make sure the browser is installed and then select the appropriate documentation icon from the AIX CDE Help Manager. This will automatically point to the Base Documentation library.

To unmount the CD-ROM, run:

/infocd/unlinkbasecd
unmount /infocd
