Oops, I forgot something.
In my previous posting (Re: install++ problem -- Pass 2)
I yacked about how to read the sr10.1 RI (release index) file off of the
release tape, to enable installs of optional software. It seems that there
was a bug in the RI file that shipped with sr10.1. The bug didn't affect
the install of sr10.1, only subsequent installs of optional software
(just what you wanted ;-). Apollo shipped a tool to fix the 10.1 RI file,
called "fix_10_1_ri" in "/install/tools". So if you get a fresh copy of
the sr10.1 RI off tape, you'll need to fix it before installing optional
software. To do this just invoke the tool with the comman line that tells
it where the 10.1 AA is (the node that you put the RI file on). EG:
$ /install/tools/fix_10_1_ri -s //aa_node
It doesn't hurt to run it more than once, it will tell you if the
job has already been done. It's only needed for the sr10.1 RI, not
sr10.1.p
