You'd be better off with 4.0 unless you have the full media. I'd go with an ra82 or similar...I think that's what I configured but I could be mistaken. http://gewt.net/ultrix2.dsk root p/w is "changeme". After that I will probably bomb you with questions about configuration and layered installation :) Read the documentation first. ;) (and remember to install the man pages) Jordi Guillaumes i Pons Barcelona - Catalunya - Europa El 12/06/2013, a les 20:37, Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com> va escriure: On 06/12/2013 02:30 PM, Cory Smelosky wrote: On Wed, 12 Jun 2013, Dave McGuire wrote: On 06/12/2013 01:53 PM, Cory Smelosky wrote: I would like to play with Ultrix too. I tried to install it some time ago and didn't succeed (no docs, a probably corrupted media image...).. Are there viable media available somewhere? Docs? I have tape images for Ultrix/VAX v4.0. I have a physical CD for it as well, but possibly a later release, as well as one for MIPS, but I've not yet imaged them. I don't recall their release numbers because I haven't seen them in probably fifteen years, but I know what box they're in. I will try to dig them up soon. Docs...It's BSD UNIX, man! Yet the package management is partially SysV. ;) Package management?! By package management I mean: "using setld to install packages from tape".. Oh wow, good old setld. Yes, I do remember that. It's so primitive that I didn't even think of it as "package management" in today's terms. Wait a minute. Was setld present in any SysV implementations? (Seriously, I ran Ultrix on my desktop for years, didn't even know it HAD package management...I built everything from source.) Like a real UNIX user! :) Well yes. ;) Thank you. ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
