If you decide after the installation or upgrade
to change which OpenVMS operating system files you want installed
on your system, you can use the menu system contained on the OpenVMS
operating system media to add or remove files.
 |
| |
|
 | IMPORTANT: Unless you have a specific need to exclude operating
system files from your system disk, HP strongly recommends that you
accept the defaults and install all files that are part of OpenVMS.
In general, limited disk space is not a good reason to exclude files;
problems encountered when needed files are missing can cost much more
than the cost of a larger disk. |

files by entering the HELP SYS_FILES command at the dollar sign prompt
($). |

Version 8.4 of the OpenVMS operating system is already installed
on the target disk. You may choose one of the following actions:
o Reconfigure the OpenVMS platform.
This action will allow you to change your selections of which
of the windowing and network products you included with your
OpenVMS operating system installation.
o Reconfigure the OpenVMS operating system.
This action will allow you to change your choices about which
options you included for the OpenVMS operating system.
o Reinstall the OpenVMS operating system.

choose "Install or upgrade layered products" from the main menu.
