Preinstallation of MIDAS

From the config menu, select the option 5 - preinstall MIDAS. If your system matches one of the system names located in the directory /midas/98NOV/install/unix/systems, the procedure will use it automatically to complete the preinstallation of MIDAS, otherwise it will show you a list of system names for a selection. If your machine is not included in the list type the option unknown.

NOTE: For some systems, the preinstallation will print out, on your screen, important notes for the installation of MIDAS on your system. Please, read these notes carefully because they could indicate a specific environment that you should check before you continue with the installation of MIDAS. The file containing these notes is located in /midas/98NOV/local/README.
