Installing Linux Versions

Explains the steps to install Linux host products.

Release information on this product is stored in HTML format under info/ in the directory where the package is installed. Be sure to read it carefully with your web browser.

A special file is also stored into info/ so that you can refer the product name and product version. This file consists of the output from gversion for each file prepared in the package. (gversion outputs the last modified date even for such a non-executable file as library or source code, as well as the output from "ls -l".) The last six-digit number in the file name indicates the release number of the product.

(Example) mlt-us-060000.lst ; MULTI Release 6.0.0

Moreover, a template file used for technical support by e-mail can be found under info/. You can use it to contact us for a technical communication.
