	Installation Notes for Solaris 2.5 Multicast 3.5+ / 3.8


1.  Get Solaris_mc35+.2.5.tar.Z from playground.sun.com:/pub/multicast
Uncompress and tar the file.

2.  Become root and run the install script.

If the machine is to be a router, use the command

	# ./install.multi router

This will install a script to automatically run mrouted when the system boots.

If the machine is to be a host, use the command

	# ./install.multi host

The script will save old kernel modules under the name
xxx.pre35+, and old mrouted programs under the name sss.pre36.
You will be queried as to whether you want to overwrite existing
xxx.pre35+/xxx.pre36 files.

An example mrouted.conf file is provided in the directory as well.

After the script installs the files from the Solaris_mc35+.2.5 directory, 
you must reboot the machine.
