Configuring Online Documentation
It is not necessary to install the operating system’s online documentation onto your
system. You can access all of the documentation through the Internet at the following
Web address: http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/library However, if you use the
Documentation Library Service to search any online documentation, it searches only the
registered documentation that is installed. It does not search the documentation at the
above Web site.
Viewing the Online Documentation from the Documentation CD
To view the online documentation, you must have an HTML browser installed on your
system. The Netscape browser is located on the AIX 5L Expansion Pack.
Installing the Online Documentation on a System

1. Type smitty install_latest.

menu or accept the default choices. When you have finished making your
