[daip] Issue with the AIPS tv on the CENTOS 7

[ABINASH KUMAR SHAW]

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried the alternative way by adding the
suggested commands to the .Xdefaults in my user profile. I have also tried
the first method but could not understood what to do with the  HOSTS.LIST
and the data areas.

Is there any way or any flag which I can change before starting the
installation which corresponds to a server installation of the software and
take care of all the things  automatically?

Thank you.
