Copy CONTROL

Rsync from sam to ccstandard (add this to OS install instructions)

on the new machine

mkdir /u/ccr.<release_no>
cd /u/ccr.<release_no>
rsync -av /u/ccstandard/ ./

Create a new environment:

mkdir /u/cc<companyname>
cd /u/cc<companyname>
rsync -av /u/ccr.<release_no>/{adm,binl,binx11,LOG,overlay,usr} ./
ln -s /u/ccr.<release_no>/{env,lang_ts,lib,manual,pixmap,standard,std} ./

Libraries

For Fedora versions prior to Fedora Core 5, update /etc/ld.so.conf to included the following line

/u/cc/lib

For Fedora Core 5 and later, execute:

cd /usr/lib
ln -s /u/cc/lib/libcqt3.* .

You will also need to edit /u/cc/usr/common.sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:$CCDIR/lib

Then for all versions to rebuild the library cache execute:

ldconfig

X related configuration

Install necessary fonts

As a minimum, the system should have the 75-dpi, 100-dpi and truetype fonts appropriate for the installed X Font Server

To search for the fonts:

yum search fonts

The packages are usually of the form fonts-xorg-75dpi

Once you have found the correct fonts packages

yum install <font package>

Make console (DISPLAY=0) a VNC server

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Module"
        Load "vnc"      # Add this line
EndSection
Section "Screen"
        Option "PasswordFile" "/u/cc/usr/ccc/.vnc/passwd"       # Add this line
EndSection

Installing FVWM

We use FVWM as a slimline window manager where users don't need or expect a full remote desktop. You'll need to locate files fvwm-2.4.19-1.i386.rpm and libstroke-0.5.1-4.fc4.i386.rpm which are available on sam.

# yum install compat-readline43 gtk+ imlib
# rpm -Uvh fvwm-2.4.19-1.i386.rpm fvwm-themes-0.6.2-1.noarch.rpm libstroke-0.5.1-4.fc4.i386.rpm

Need to update Xclients such that FVWM is started when local user logs in.

# cd /etc/X11/xinit
# mv Xclients Xclients.bak
# vi Xclients

Update Xclients to initialise the control environment and execute FVWM as below:

rm -f $HOME/Xrootenv.0
rm -f /tmp/fvwmrc* 2>/dev/null
. /u/cc/usr/common.sh
exec /usr/bin/fvwm

Finally give Xclients execute permissions

chmod +x Xclients

Configuring FVWM

mkdir /etc/X11/fvwm2

Copy from system.fvwm2rc from /u (sam) or from a recent client's system and place it in the newly created directory. Also place a symbolic link to system.fvwm2rc in /etc/

ln -s /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc /etc/

Background tasks

You will need to edit /etc/inittab:
