Silicon Graphics, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IRIX 6.5.23 Overlay CDs contain the miniroot and other components
necessary for booting the system into the basic installation environment.
A "Customer Welcome" document includes installing IRIX 6.5 and other
vital information you should read before you install this release of IRIX.
To view the Installing IRIX 6.5 pages:
1. Insert the Installation Tools and Overlays CD 1-of-3 February 2004
into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Open a Web browser and enter the following address:
file:///CDROM/WhatsNew/yourSystem.html
NOTE: Literally type yourSystem.html; do not
type your actual system name.
3. Click the "Installing IRIX 6.5" link.
Important
---------
Carefully follow the instructions in the CD booklet that came packaged
with the IRIX 6.5.23 CDs. These instructions include how to insert applicable
IRIX 6.5 base and overlay CDs as well as network distribution directories.
This must be done before issuing any "keep" or "install" commands to avoid
unresolvable conflicts.
As a reminder, you may want to check "Caveat and Release Note Updates"
link at http://support.sgi.com/browse_request/irix_os for any
late-breaking information.

applications in the unbundled directory, see the "Installing IRIX 6.5"
section of the Customer Welcome document.
