XP-15 software is delivered on CDROM. This chapter describes the steps that should be used to install the 

software.  The account that performs the installation must have certain system privileges, and is normally 

the system account. 

 

Release notes for the delivered version of the XP-15 hardware and software are included on the CDROM in a 

file called README.TXT.  This file lists enhancements since the previous version, known hardware and 

software deficiencies, documentation errors, and other information not included in the manuals. 
 

3.2.1 Tru64 (Digital Unix) Installation 
Log on to the computer with system privileges, this is normally root. Insert and mount the CDROM using a 

command along the lines of the one below: 

 

 

# mount –r /dev/disk/cdrom0c /cdrom 
 

There are two script files located on the CDROM, one is to load the user software and the other is to load the 

XP15 driver. First load the user software as follows: 

 
# cd /cdrom  

 

The script will run and will ask questions about where the software is located and where to install it on the 

host machine. A typical run is shown below with normal user responses underlined.
