version 1.2?

1. If you upgrade a system running Irix 4.0.* or Irix 5.1.* to Irix
5.2 and you already have Impressario 1.1 installed then
Impressario 1.1 should continue to work under Irix 5.2. However,
you should update to Impressario 1.2 as soon as possible after any
update to Irix 5.2
2. Once you upgrade to Irix 5.2 do not remove Impressario 1.1. If
you do, you should re-install the following subsystems from the
Irix 5.2 distribution CD (for convenience these subsystems are
also found on the Impressario 1.2 CD -- see the next item):
print.man.desktop print.man.relnotes print.sw.desktop
3. When you install Impressario 1.2 you will find that it has the
following subsystems on the Impressario 1.2 CD:
print.man.desktop print.man.relnotes print.sw.desktop
As a minimum, install the default print subsystems (do not mark
all the print product as 'keep' from inst). The reason this is
done is that the inst procedure removes all files associated with
Impressario 1.1. Some of the Impressario 1.1 files now reside in
the print product and they will be removed when Impressario 1.2 is
installed. So, the print product must be re-installed when
Impressario 1.2 is installed. For convenience, the print product
is supplied with Impressario 1.2 and it will automatically
install the correct print product (assuming you do not change the
set of software to be installed using the inst utility).
Note that the print product shipped with Irix 5.2 is version 1.2.
The print product found on the Impressario 1.2 CD is version
1.2.1. They are both the same. The higher version number of the
print product on the Impressario 1.2 CD ensures that they are
installed by the inst utility when you install Impressario 1.2.
4. Do not load Impressario 1.1 (client or server software) onto an
Irix 5.2 system. There are OS patches in Impressario 1.1 which
are not necessary for Irix 5.2. If Impressario 1.1 is installed
on top of IRIX 5.2, you should be aware that the following files
are replaced, and their corresponding Irix 5.2 subsystems must be
reinstalled.
File name Subsystem
usr/lib/lpsched eoe2.sw.lp
usr/lib/lputil eoe2.sw.lp
usr/lib/print/lptops eoe2.sw.lp
usr/bin/lp eoe2.sw.lp
usr/sbin/mkcentpr eoe2.sw.lp
usr/spool/lp/model/netface eoe2.sw.lp
usr/lib/filetype/vadmin/printers.ftr desktop_eoe.sw.FileTypingRules
usr/lib/filetype/vadmin/vadmin.ftr desktop_eoe.sw.FileTypingRules
usr/etc/rshd eoe2.sw.tcp
IMPORTANT: If you install Impressario 1.1 onto an Irix 5.2 system
you absolutely must re-install the above subsystems -- installing
Impressario 1.2 (the correct version for Irix 5.2) will not undo
or replace the OS patches that Impressario 1.1 installed.
Note: It is not possible to install a single file from a subsystem
-- you have to install the entire subsystem.
