The SAPO system history

SAPO is a set of powerful applications oriented to the implementation of CARTA (process which transform to technical drawing from artistic creation), designs blond curtains, lace , etc. ... These products are manufactured into the German company Karl Mayer 's textile machinery or in ancient looms leavers.
The SAPO system was originally created for HP's workstations with HP-UX operating system, because they were more powerful than any PC on the market. The personal computing progress make PC getting faster and cheaper, and became more interesting migrate the existing code to the new and primitive Linux running on personal computers.

We choose Redhat because was a free distribution and had a lot of similarities in the directories and configuration files structure with the previous HP-UX. Redhat became a commercial product, so we looked for an open source alternative to maintain and improve the same stability and security. The distribution chosen wasCentOS, which did not have the latest versions of software that other distributions derived from Redhat have like Fedora, but instead have a better stability .

With the idea of avoiding the user to adapt to different environments that didn't have used, we kept the maximum appearance. For this reason, we install a CDE Linux compatible desktop which had been used in the old HP-UX workstations, but now we are working to migrate the SAPO system to any modern desktops which are integrated with current Linux versions like Gnome, or KDE, in order to improve the user experience and comfort as much as possible without losing security and stability.

SAPO Design system installation's notes

Currently is needed to install SAPO on PCs, laptops and desktops, where you can install a CentOS Linux operating system. The recommended version up to date is CentOS 5.x, because the old desktop CDE used with SAPO is incompatible with the latest version (CentOS 6 at the time of writing this manual).
During the operating system installation, hard drive's data could be erased so you should have a backup of your existing user data.
The used setup editor used in this manual is vi. This file editor is very powerful, but not recommended if you don't have previous experience. In this case, there are other editors more intuitive such as nano'.
Remember that editing configuration files is a critical and extremely delicate operation and can cause the system will not boot properly.
A new system installation have 4 stages:

Installing the Linux operating system 'CentOS 5.x'.

Installing the CDE desktop.

Installing the SAPO design system.

Installing additional applications.

Installation

Linux Operating System

Linux CentOS 5.x operating system installation

The installation Iso images can be downloaded from the CentOS's official website:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/isos/i386 /

-
The 32-bit Linux version (i386) ensures compatibility with SAPO system.
This manual explains the graphical installation mode.

Boot with the CentOS 5.x installation CD-ROM.

If you boot from the netinstall CD_ROM version, will be necessary an internet connection available and a few preliminary steps make with a wizard running in text mode:
If the CD-ROM isn't the netinstall version, go to step:Start the installation wizard.
