This article describes the (re)installation of the [[IRIX 6.5.28]] operating system on a [[SGI Fuel]]. The installation is performed over a local network (LAN), using a [[SGI Indy]] workstation as installation server. The main focus of this article is to demonstrate the feature of driving inst using a pre-written command file instead of manually performing all needed software selection steps. Although the example specifically describes an IRIX 6.2.28 installation, the demonstrated methods will work with any 6.5.x installation. Just make sure you use a release that suits your hardware.
