Steps to Install Using the GUI Installer
The XWindows application must be installed and its daemon running in
order to install via the GUI installer.
1. Verify that XWindows is running, by issuing this command:
# ps -aux | grep xinit
If Xwindows is running, the output includes a line like this:
root 4318 0.0 0.5 2224 756 tty1 S 03:51 0:00 xinit
If XWindows is not running, start it with this command or contact your
system administrator:
# startx
2. Place the Burstware installation CD in the caddy.
3. Mount the CD ROM device:
# mount device mount_point
where device is the system device and mount_point is the filesystem
location-such as /mnt/cdrom-to which the system device is mounted.

# cd mount_point/linux

Follow the instructions in the installer.
Steps to Install Using the RPM Installer
The Burstware installation uses a number of RPM files. To simplify
installation, we have created a shell script, called config.sh, which prompts
you for information needed to complete the RPM installation.
The steps to install Burstware using the RPM shell script, config.sh are as
follows:
1. Place the Burstware installation CD in the caddy.
2. Mount the CD ROM device:
# mount device mount_point
where device is the system device and mount_point is the filesystem
location-such as /mnt/cdrom-to which the system device is mounted.
Type of device Example mount syntax
/dev/cdrom alias # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
IDE cdrom # mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom
SCSI cdrom # mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom…
