TCP/IP 2.0 for OS/2 Installation Addenda
This file contains changes and corrections that apply to the
installation procedure, and ships with all kits.
Each kit can contain its own specific README file. Please see
the READ ME FIRST icon in the Read Me folder within the TCP/IP
folder for more information about kit specific readme files.
The information in this file is organized as follows:
1. Pre-Installation steps for installing the Base Kit
2. Global Kit Changes
3. Changes to Base and Applications Kits
1. Pre-Installation steps for installing the Base Kit
If you already have a version of IBM TCP/IP installed and are
installing the TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2 Base Kit to a
different directory from where the previous version is
installed, you will need to modify your CONFIG.SYS before
installing the TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2 Base Kit.
Following is an explanation of the changes that have to be
made to your CONFIG.SYS file:
1. Delete or comment out the line which contains the
command to SET the ETC environment variable:
REM SET ETC=C:\TCPIP\ETC
2. Remove any references to the old TCP/IP's DLL directory
from the LIBPATH statement.
3. Remove any references to the old TCP/IP's directories
from the following list of environment variables:
SET BOOKSHELF=
SET READIBM=
SET HELP=
SET PATH=
If you do not follow these steps before installing, the
install program will use the previously defined ETC
environment variable from the CONFIG.SYS file to store TCP/IP
configuration files.
To correctly complete your installation, and to prevent
the loss of configuration files in the event you erase the
directories where you had previously installed TCP/IP, you
must complete the following steps:
1. Copy all of the files (including all of the
subdirectories) from the previously installed TCP/IP's
ETC directory to the newly installed TCP/IP Version 2.0
for OS/2 Base Kit's ETC directory. Example:
[C:\]xcopy /s %etc%\*.* <TCPIP_Install_Path>\etc
2. Update the line in your CONFIG.SYS which contains the
command to SET the ETC environment variable. This
should be updated so that it points to the ETC
directory off of the path where you installed the new
copy of the TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2 Base Kit.
Example:
SET ETC=<TCPIP_Install_Path>\ETC
3. Follow steps #2 and #3 outlined above to update your
CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Global Kit Changes
SAVING CONFIGURATION FILES:
---------------------------
If you are installing TCP/IP 2.0 for OS/2 over an existing
TCP/IP, you should save the configuration-related files in a
directory other than the directory in which your current
TCP/IP resides. If you do not save these files, the TCP/IP
installation process will overwrite them. The configuration
files you should save are:
BIN\SETUP.CMD BIN\SNALINK.CMD BIN\TCPSTART.CMD
BIN\X25.CMD DOS\ETC\HOSTS DOS\ETC\RESOLV
DOS\ETC\PROTOCOL DOS\ETC\SERVICES ETC\BOOTPTAB
ETC\INETD.LST ETC\MIB2.TBL ETC\PINGHOST.LST
ETC\PROTOCOL ETC\RPC ETC\SENDMAIL.CF
ETC\SERVICES ETC\SLIP.CFG ETC\X25*.CFG
ETC\X25IP ETC\X25RTE ETC\X25DIR
ETC\SNA*.CFG ETC\OS2MVS.CFG LAMAIL\NICKNAME.NAM
INSTALLING SOFTCOPY PUBLICATIONS:
---------------------------------
The TCP/IP publications in softcopy are included on the installation
diskettes, and are installed in the TCPIP\DOC\ subdirectory when you
install TCP/IP.
When you install the Base or Applications kit, you must select
to install the basic publications if you want them. The
"User's Guide" and "Installation and Administration" books are
installed in BookManager format, while the "Command Reference"
is installed in INF format.
When you install the other kits, their publications are
automatically installed in BookManager format.
In either case, in order to read the BookManager publications,
you need either IBM BookManager or the IBM Library Reader. If
you do not have one of these, you can select to install the
IBM Library Reader when you install TCP/IP.
2. Changes to Base and Applications Kits
LAMAIL CHANGE:
When you install the base kit, the LaMail application is no
longer installed automatically. Instead, you must select
LaMail from the installation menu before you select INSTALL.
Because there is a problem in LaMail installation, the LaMail
icon appears in the TCP/IP folder whether or not you install
LaMail.
