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. I don't blame you. ;) Wait a minute. Was setld present in any SysV implementations? It was present in the x86 build of SVR4 iirc. I'd need to consult my disk image (http://gewt.net/sysv.img). (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. ;) Welcome! ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
