D3 installation options

After the D3 package is loaded, a D3 installation script executes to generate a configuration file.

About this task

If the configuration file /usr/lib/pick/pick0 already exists, you will see the D3 Installation menu. For a new installation, you will see the D3 Installation menu using the default configuration file.

Tip: If you are running a graphical interface on AIX, it might be necessary to set your term type to vt100. To do this, type:

TERM=vt100;
export TERM
