Hello Netlanders, I just got myself a XENIX 286 version 2.2.3. The installation worked without a flaw, but the result has a defect: The /etc/rc file looks in /etc/rc.d for files and executes each file. However, after installation, there appeared to be no /etc/rc.d directory, and of course, no files there. As a result, the system does not get properly initialized during startup. Symptoms are simple: no update running, /u not mounted, no cron, the console login has pid=5.. I looked on the distribution floppies, but couldn't find the files there either. Since V2.2.3 is not entirely new, I expect it to be my fault, but still can't find what I goofed... Geert Jan -.-.- --... ...-- -.. . .--. . .---- .... --.. --. .-.-.

Contact SCO. This is a known bug in the installation script, and there
is a fix diskette available.
