There are files that tell the setup program which packages must be installed, +which ones are optional, and which ones are selected by default by the setup program.</p> + +<p>A tagfile is in the first software series directory and is called tagfile. It lists +the packages in that particular disk set and their status. The status can be:</p> + +<div class="TABLE"><a id="AEN6621" name="AEN6621"></a> +<p><b>Table 18-3.

The original tagfiles for each software series are stored as +tagfile.org. So if you mess up yours, you can restore the original one.</p> + +<p>Many administrators prefer writing their own tagfiles and starting the installer and +selecting “full”. The setup program will read the tagfiles and perform the +installation according to their contents. If you use REC or OPT, a dialog box will be +presented to the user asking whether or not they want a particular package. Therefore, it +is recommended that you stick with ADD and SKP when writing tagfiles for automated +installs.</p> + +<p>Just make sure your tagfiles are written to the same location as the originals. Or you +can specify a custom tagfile path if you have custom tagfiles.</p> +</div> + +<div class="NAVFOOTER"> +<hr align="LEFT" width="100%" /> +<table summary="Footer navigation table" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" +cellspacing="0"> +<tr> +<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top"><a +href="package-management-making-packages.html" accesskey="P">Prev</a></td> +<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="index.html" +accesskey="H">Home</a></td> +<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><a href="zipslack.html" +accesskey="N">Next</a></td> +</tr> + +<tr> +<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top">Making Packages</td> +<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="package-management.html" +accesskey="U">Up</a></td> +<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top">ZipSlack</td> +</tr> +</table> +</div> +</body> +</html> + |
