SGI IRIX Freeware
Inst Selection Files
Selections files are a convenient way to load a bundle of software and all of its prerequisite packages. The selections files available today are:
You may also find the inst-get script useful. It will attempt to download (using wget) all the prerequisite freeware packages required for a given install.
If you have a fast, reliable network connection you can install
directly over network. Run
"inst -f http://freeware.sgi.com/Inst/" and try a sequence
like this to minimize conflicts:
keep *install upgradesinstall(the package you want)install prereqs
Finally there are graphical and text files showing the current freeware prereqs, as well as an online prereq calculator.
