Irix 6.4 for Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE README Silicon Graphics, Inc. This is the IRIX 6.4 for Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE CD. It contains the base software for the IRIX 6.4 for Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE release. This CD is part of a set--the companion CD is IRIX 6.4 Applications February 97. In addition, you most likely also have a CD containing patches for your system. Silicon Graphics strongly recommends that you also load this patch CD when inst prompts you to load additional CDs. Installation Information ------------------------ IMPORTANT: inst will prompt you to load any additional CD's (such as the IRIX 6.4 Applications CD or patch CD) before making your installation selections or beginning the installation. Loading all the CD's first will allow you to avoid conflicts caused by product dependencies across the CD's. Much of this software may be pre-installed if you are purchasing a new system after the software release date. These products will appear as 'same version' in Software Manager. This software is supported only on Origin 200, Origin 2000, Onyx2 and OCTANE systems. You may choose to read the release notes for products before installing them. You can now view the release notes easily from Software Manager: when you click on the product, the product name will highlight like a blue HTML link if there are release notes available. Simply click again on the link to bring up the Release Notes window. To view the release notes for patches, open a unix shell and type: cd /CDROM/docs ./CDgrelnotes Product Support Information --------------------------- Silicon Graphics, Inc., provides a comprehensive product support maintenance program for its products.
