D    Base Operating System Software Subset Descriptions

The software subsets described in this appendix are located on the Operating System Volume 1 CD-ROM.

Operating system software subsets are divided into the following categories: optional, mandatory, and conditionally mandatory.

D.1    Mandatory Software Subsets

The mandatory subsets shown in Table D-2 always are installed automatically for the default and custom installations.

The Base System and the Base System-Hardware Support subsets cannot be deleted once they are installed.

The Standard Kernel Modules, the Kernel Header and Common Files, the Hardware Kernel Modules, the Hardware Kernel Header and Common Files, and the Compiler Back End subsets contain all the files needed to build a standard kernel. You can delete these subsets after the installation by using the setld -d command to reclaim disk space after the kernel is built. However, you will not be able to rebuild your kernel. If you need to rebuild your kernel for any reason, you must reinstall those subsets with the setld command.

Table D-2 describes the mandatory subsets.
