-VP fix Installation Instructions
1. OVERVIEW
The VP jix™ Environment is installed on your fixed disk using the
sysadm utility. It is comprised of two subsets:
• The VP/ix Core and MS-DOS@ subset contains the base VP jix Environment. It requires about 1.3 MB of disk space and requires that the 386jix™ Core subset already be installed. It is distributed on two diskettes.
• The VP/ix Configuration subset is optional and may be installed by those users who plan to customize the VP jix Environment (i.e., to support third-party hardware devices). It takes about 0.5 MB of disk space and requires that the 386jix Kernel Configuration subset already be installed. It is distributed on one diskette.
This document assumes that you have read and understood the fol-lowing documents in the 386/ix Operating System Guide:
