About this task

There are two ways to install the Altiris Linux x64 Automation Environment.

Procedure

Select either the manual or automatic method for installing the Altiris Linux x64 Automation Environment:

  1. Manually: Use the Altiris PXE Configuration Utility to install the pre-boot environment manually.
  2. Automatically, as part of an installation: Copy the file BDCgpl_6.9.xxxx.frm to ...\sgdeploy\sgtklinux\boot\, and retain the original file name. When the altiris_sgtklinux.cmd installation script runs, it integrates the environment as part of the installation.
