CAUTION: When you are installing the SAS Foundation on a UNIX system and see the message "Prompt for root password later during this run?" answer Y. As the message in the installation program explains, "Certain SAS products and features employ functionality that requires SAS to check user ID authentication and file access authorizations. This in turn necessitates that certain files within your SAS installation have setuid permissions and be owned by root. " Of course, you will have to enter the root password later in the installation. 4 Install any other products that cannot be installed silently in a similar manner. Start of the Configuration Wizard If there are configurable components in the list of products to be installed, the last item in the navigator's list will be the SAS Configuration Wizard.

Configuring Software Using the SAS Configuration Wizard Overview of Configuring Software Using the SAS Configuration Wizard Your interaction with the SAS Configuration Wizard can be broken down into a number of phases: 3 First, you specify some preliminary information, such as the language in which the wizard should display its messages and prompts. 3 The wizard then prompts you for information that it knows it will need when it configures the current machine. For example, the wizard might prompt you for information about the user accounts that you created in Chapter 2. 3 The wizard continues to obtain input from you by enabling you to edit a set of advanced properties in a text file. After you have edited these properties--or if you indicate that you do not need to edit them--the wizard performs as much automated configuration of the machine as possible. 3 If you are configuring Xythos WebFile Server on the current machine, the SAS Configuration Wizard starts a program--SASWFS--that you use to configure this product.
