Installing to Multiple Disk Partitions or Directories

If you do not have a single partition large enough to hold the entire IC-CAP installation, you can spread the installation across partitions using symbolic or soft links. The symbolic links are created before installation to redirect files to other partitions.

For example, suppose you want to install IC-CAP with most of the software installed in /usr/local/iccap2008, but you want the example projects to be installed to /disk2 due to lack of disk space in the /usr partition. Before starting the installation process you would do the following:

1	Create the main installation directory:

cd /usr/local

mkdir iccap2008

2	Create the directory that will hold the example files on /disk2:

cd /disk2

mkdir iccap_examples

3	Create a link named examples in the main installation directory that points to the /disk2/iccap_examples directory:

cd /urs/local/iccap2008

ln -s /disk2/iccap_examples examples

4	Begin the installation process. When the examples are installed, the example projects will follow the /usr/local/iccap2008/examples link to /disk2/iccap_examples.

Following is a list of the larger directory names for IC-CAP, along with approximate sizes. The doc directory can be re-directed to another disk partition as shown above for the examples directory. The sizes shown are for a complete installation.

Directory Name	Approximate Size
examples	115 Megabytes
doc	86 Megabytes
