- I am assisting a group of people who purchased 3 DecStation 5000's using
- Ultrix 4.2a- so far I am not impressed by the installation process or
- partition changing procedures, plus the diskless client setup.
-
- Anyway can anyone give me a run down on the install process and how much
- can I really control during the advanced install? Should I use the system
- management menu item after a cd-rom boot, to do the re-partitioning of the
- disk? There seems to be some confusion about how to generate a partition
- for dlenv so that 'dms' utility can create what it needs for diskless clients.
-
- Thanks in advance for any comments or help... I am a SunOS expert so I am not
- very familiar with the ULTRIX install- but there are similarities, and the
- group I am helping are VMS people.
