I'm not the first, obviously, but I actually finished this bugger off this morning:

Well done for that Tony, these walk through's look really simple to do on the surface
but the reality is that there is significant uninteresting grunt work to get the
information out there on a web page, despite all the blogging software tool help.
We could do with a few more of this kind of thing for the more esoteric operating systems
and 'layered products'. The other thing that Steve Davidson has proven too me (by
being very nice in pointing out how horrendous some of my VMS setup's have been) is
that getting VMS installed with some layered products compared to having a properly
configured VMS machine are very different points on a long line.
I noted from my previous post that Matt has a walk through of installing decnet on RSX:

which might be of interest to some.
I wouldn't have a clue how to do that!
Mark.
