Hi again folks.
I just have a couple of quick questions that I am sure
have been beaten to death but...
After logging in for the first time (under ast ) I wanted to run the
test programs, I am unsure of just how IBM compatible it really is.
All seemed to be going well until test 5 and then it and subsequent
tests had many errors. It seemed that 1/5 of the errors were NOT OWNER
and the other 4/5 were FILE NOT FOUND. I then logged on as SU and all
went perfectly.
So if I read the book correctly (yes I finally got a copy!) it should
have worked under ast. Is this a typo? Can I now pronounce it
Machine & OS?
Second question. Is it necessary to use a 1.2 Mb diskette to boot
with? Can I put files on that disk or maybe use a 360 kb floppy? It
just seems a large waste of expensive diskettes.
I guess that is it, Thanks for reading and thanks ahead of time for
any who reply!
