HP/UX Linux porting kit installation 

Get those files from CD1 and CD2, 

CD1/ libhplx.depot (libhplx Linux-compatible API library)

CD1/ Linux_11i_c.tar (SD depot format for Linux Software Transition Kit)

CD1/ STKL1111tools.depot (tools package from the Linux Software Transition Kit)

CD2/ bin.depot (binaries)

CD2/ src.depot (sources)

CD2/ hp.depot (HP dev support)

View available bundles, 

swlist -s /var/tmp/libhplx.depot

swlist -s /var/tmp/Linux_11i_c.tar

swlist -s /var/tmp/STKL1111tools.bin

swlist -s /var/tmp/bin.depot | more

swlist -s /var/tmp/src.depot | more

swlist -s /var/tmp/hp.depot

install the bundles, 

swinstall -s /var/tmp/libhplx.depot HPLX

swinstall -s /var/tmp/Linux_11i_c.tar B4580AL

swinstall -s /var/tmp/STKL1111tools.bin STKL

swinstall -s /var/tmp/bin.depot \*

#swinstall -s /var/tmp/src.depot \*

swinstall -s /var/tmp/hp.depot \*

check, 

swlist | egrep 'HPLX|4580|STKL|bash|gcc'

Switch to bash, 

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

bash

echo '/usr/local/bin/bash' >> /etc/shells

chsh root /usr/local/bin/bash

Note. new path at last, we still use HP/UX commands first (tar, ...) 

Create a dedicated homedir for root user, 

cd /home

mkdir -p root

vipw

change root's homedir to, 

/home/root

Make the Bash profile, 

cd /home/root

vi .profile

like, 

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

export PATH

PS1='${HOSTNAME%%.*}# '

alias ll='ls -alF'
