1. If you upgrade a system running IRIX 4.0.* or IRIX 5.1.* to IRIX 5.2 and
you already have Impressario 1.1 installed then Impressario 1.1
should continue to work under IRIX 5.2. However, you should update to
Impressario 1.2 as soon as possible after any update to IRIX 5.2
2. Once you upgrade to IRIX 5.2 do not remove Impressario 1.1. If you
do, you should re-install the following subsystems from the IRIX 5.2
distribution CD (for convenience these subsystems are also found on the
Impressario 1.2 CD -- see the next item):
print.man.desktop print.man.relnotes print.sw.desktop
3. When you install Impressario 1.2 you will find that it has the
following subsystems on the Impressario 1.2 CD:
print.man.desktop print.man.relnotes print.sw.desktop
As a minimum, install the default print subsystems (do not mark all the
print product as 'keep' from inst). The reason this is done is that the
inst procedure removes all files associated with Impressario 1.1.
Some of the Impressario 1.1 files now reside in the print product and
they will be removed when Impressario 1.2 is installed. So, the
print product must be re-installed when Impressario 1.2 is
installed. For convenience, the print product is supplied with
Impressario 1.2 and it will automatically install the correct print
product (assuming you do not change the set of software to be installed
using the inst utility).
Note that the print product shipped with IRIX 5.2 is version 1.2. The
print product found on the Impressario 1.2 CD is version 1.2.1. They
are both the same. The higher version number of the print product on the
Impressario 1.2 CD ensures that they are installed by the inst
utility when you install Impressario 1.2.
4. Do not load Impressario 1.1 (client or server software) onto an IRIX
5.2 system. There are OS patches in Impressario 1.1 which are not
necessary for IRIX 5.2. If Impressario 1.1 is installed on top of
IRIX 5.2, you should be aware that the following files are replaced, and
their corresponding IRIX 5.2 subsystems must be reinstalled.
File name Subsystem
usr/lib/lpsched eoe2.sw.lp
usr/lib/lputil eoe2.sw.lp
usr/lib/print/lptops eoe2.sw.lp
usr/bin/lp eoe2.sw.lp
usr/sbin/mkcentpr eoe2.sw.lp
usr/spool/lp/model/netface eoe2.sw.lp
usr/lib/filetype/vadmin/printers.ftr desktop_eoe.sw.FileTypingRules
usr/lib/filetype/vadmin/vadmin.ftr desktop_eoe.sw.FileTypingRules
usr/etc/rshd eoe2.sw.tcp
IMPORTANT: If you install Impressario 1.1 onto an IRIX 5.2 system you
absolutely must re-install the above subsystems -- installing
Impressario 1.2 (the correct version for IRIX 5.2) will not undo or
replace the OS patches that Impressario 1.1 installed.
Note: It is not possible to install a single file from a subsystem -- you
have to install the entire subsystem.
