For those who automatically install their software, Chapter 2 of this guide provides useful information on customizing the distributed software. For those who cannot install their software automatically, the modular structure of this manual allows you to read only the chapters that you need for your combination of hardware and software. Chapter 1 of the manual introduces you to manual installation and system generation concepts and helps you choose a reading path through the other chapters. Installation concepts---both planning activities and actual installation procedures---are covered in Chapters 2 through 9. You should read Chapter 2 to plan your installation, then choose the chapter (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) that describes the installation of a system most closely resembling your own configuration. Additional information available in the appendixes includes procedures to modify the MDUP utility to recognize unsupported or user written device handlers and toggle-in software bootstraps. If you discover that you need to perform the system generation process, refer to the <reference>(syg_book). Before you begin, you should read the <reference>(gui_book), which describes the other software documents associated with the RT--11 operating system. Familiarity with the RT--11 system, as described in the <reference>(int_book), is particularly helpful when you perform the procedures in this manual. If you are a FORTRAN, BASIC--PLUS, FMS--11, CTS--300, or other layered product user, you build your layered product system after building the RT--11 system. A layered product is software that is sold separately but requires the RT--11 operating system environment to run. See the appropriate installation manual for instructions on installing such products. <head1>(Audience) This manual is written for the RT--11 users who are going to install their system manually and/or customize an automatically installed system. <HEAD1>(Conventions\Conventions) The following conventions are used in this guide. <TABLE> <TABLE_SETUP>(2\15) <TABLE_HEADS>(Convention\Meaning) <TABLE_ROW>(Black print\ In examples, black print indicates output lines or prompting characters that the system displays.
