     INSTALL(M)               XENIX System V                INSTALL(M)



     Name
          install - Installation shell script.

     Syntax
          /etc/install [ device ]

     Description
          /etc/install is the sh(C) script used to install
          distribution (or application program) floppies.  It performs
          the following tasks:

               - Prompts for insertion of floppies.

               - Extracts files using the tar(C) utility.

               - Executes /once/init.* programs on each floppy
                 after they have been extracted.

               - Removes any /once/init.* programs when the
                 installation is finished.


          The optional argument to the command specifies the device
          used.  The default device is /dev/install and is normally
          linked to /dev/rfd0.

     Files
          /etc/install

          /once/init.*
