Does anybody want to make any assertions about whether 3.1C can be used as a base for UWS on a DECstation 3100? I have a DECstation that I was planning on having mount a shared /usr off of my 5810 to save disk space, but the DECstation came with UWS2.1/Ultrix3.1 and there are enough differences between that and the 3.1C release on the 5810 to make me very nervous. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

No promises but it should work. V3.1C added new hardware support for 5800 and 5400 while keeping the original 3100/2100 support. Except for generating a new kernel config file (3.1C requires the devices to be confgiured), you shouldn't have any problems.
