- Hello the Univ. just bought Xenix Dev. Env. ... I will install this on a
- Syquest drive ... but now someone tells me "You will have problems installing"
- ... brr ... I just bought the drives and now I can't use them ?.
-
- The guy said it's about 120Mb ... and the Syquest is about 88Mb ... but when I
- have 2 Syquest drives (1 bootable and a second for data) can I install Xenix
- then ?
-
- I also bought myself BSD i386 and this Unix has NFS ... the Xenix too ... what
- do you think of having one BIG harddisk running either SCO or BSD but this one
- beeing a server from which the other unix can get it's files when booting from
- Syquest (88Mb).
-
- Ex: (1) 386 Server having 1 Giga / 8 Giga Tape ... running SCO
- (2a) 386 Having Syquest bootdisk running SCO
- Ok the SCO can not fit on the Syquest complete but how do I
- install the SCO so that the extra files (X / Ingres ..) can
- be found on the server.
- (2b) 386 Having Syquest bootdisk running BSD i386
- The BSD fits complete on the Syquest but the sources will
- (would like too have) be on the server running SCO.
-
- Ok my questions ...
-
- (1) Can I install SCO in a way it boots from Syquest and gets the X / Ingres
- from NFS ?
- (2) Anybody used BSD i386 NFS and SCO NFS together?
- (3) Is the SCO install realy that silly ? or is it me :) ?
-
- Thankx ...
