Preparing to start the installer

Before starting the installer screen, specify the environment for the terminal type and display functions.

Specify the vt100 type terminal name for the shell environment variable TERM.

In addition, specify the environment variable LANG so that the vt100 emulator can be used to correctly display screens. Before specifying this variable, refer to the following table to find the setting for the LANG environment variable that suits your language, environment, operating system. For more details, contact your system administrator.

Note

When performing an update installation, if the language specified in the environment variable LANG and the Kanji code of the system environment settings file (huledenv.conf) are different, change the Kanji code of the system environment settings file (huledenv.conf) to the Kanji code specified in the environment variable LANG.

If the language specified in the environment variable LANG is anything other than "EUC" or "SHIFT-JIS", specify "UTF-8" in the system environment settings file (huledenv.conf).
