Appendix A: Alternative Installation Methods


Installation on consoles (non-GUI mode)

You can launch the installer in console or non-GUI mode.

  1. Change the default directory to the CD.

  2. Run the setup program with the -console command line argument:

    ./setup -is:javaconsole -console
    
  3. In cases where the installer launches automatically, select Cancel to stop the GUI installation, then launch the setup program from a terminal or console.

The flow of the installation is identical to a regular GUI installation, except that the display is written to a terminal window and responses are entered using the keyboard.
