- Welcome to the VTserver software archive at
- ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/pub/PDP-11/Vtserver
-
- The VTserver software allows you to install 7th Edition UNIX
- onto a PDP-11 without requiring a tape drive.
-
- You will want to retrieve the file vtserver1.1.tar.gz and the
- file v7rootdump.gz. You will probably also want the v7*.Z files.
- Don't uncompress these .Z files, they can be used as is.
-
- Once you have extracted the files from vtserver1.0.tar.gz, read the file
- vtreadme.txt (or its PostScript or HTML equivalent).
-
-
- Current shortcomings (as of 2nd February 1998):
-
- + I haven't been able to test the rp or hp disk devices.
- + /dev/tty1 doesn't work once you've booted UNIX.
-
- If you want to try this out with a root filesystem that is faster to
- download, also get v7shortroot.gz. This only contains:
-
- dev/*
- etc/*
- mdec/*
- *unix
- bin/cat
- bin/chmod
- bin/dd
- bin/echo
- bin/ls
- bin/make
- bin/sh
- bin/stty
- bin/sync
- bin/uncompress
- bin/vtcat
- boot
