Fields

Package Name
Enter the name you want to assign to this software distribution package. This name will be displayed with the package icon.
Distribution Options
Stream package directly to system
Specifies that this package is sent directly to the target systems to which this software distribution package is applied. If you do not select this option, the package may be sent to the file distribution server shares you specified in the File Distribution Servers tab of the Server Preferences window, and the target systems attempt to obtain the package from the stated shares.
Distribution Pre-Requisites
Required Memory in Megabytes
Specifies the total amount of memory in increments of 1 megabyte that must be installed on the target machine before this package can be installed. The default value, 0, indicates that there is no minimum memory requirement for installation.
Required Disk Space in Megabytes
Specifies the amount of available hard disk space in increments of 1 megabyte that must be available on the target system's destination drive before this package can be installed. The default value, 0, indicates that there is no minimum disk space requirement for installation.
Note: For streamed installations, double the disk space requirement for the product you intend to install. For example, if a product's documentation states that it requires 150MB of free disk space, enter 300 in this field to ensure sufficient disk space is determined before the streamed installation is attempted.
Unix Options
Follow links
This check box specifies if the distribution should follow symbolic links.
