NAME

custom - install specific portions of a UNIX package

SYNOPSIS

custom [-ir] [package] ] [-m device] [-f [file] ]

DESCRIPTION

custom allows the super-user to create a custom installation by selectively installing or deleting portions of the UNIX packages to or from the 386 operating system. It can be used interactively or it can be invoked from the command line with applicable command options.

Files are extracted or deleted in packages. A package is a collection of individual files that are grouped together in sets.

When in interactive mode, custom prompts you for volume 1 of
the new product distribution and extracts the product infor-
mation necessary to support it.  The following menu provides
support for adding or removing a package:
     1. Install one or more packages
     2. Remove one or more packages
     3. List the files in a package
     4. Install a single file
     5. Select a new set to customize
     6. Display current disk usage
     7. Help

When you enter a menu option, you are prompted  for  further
information.   The  following  describes  what  actions  are
necessary for each menu option:

1.  Install
   Prompts for one or more package names
   Calculates  which  installation   volumes   (distribution
   media)  are  needed  and  then  prompts  the user for the
   correct volume numbers.   If multiple packages are speci-
   fied, the names should be separated by spaces on the com-
   mand line.

This option, as well as "2" and "3," displays a list of available packages in the selected set. Each line describes the package name, whether the package is fully installed, not installed or partially installed, the size of the package (in 512 byte blocks), and a one line description of the package contents.

2.  Remove
   Prompts for one or more package names.
   Deletes the correct files in the specified  package.   If
   multiple  packages  are  specified,  the  names should be
