jfjr@mbunix.mitre.org (Jerome Freedman) (01/20/89)
I just got 3 dn3500's,(sr10.1) two with 170 mg disk and cartridge, one with nothing. I just successfully loaded bsd4.3_large onto a node (first true success). The super user prompt is # as it should be, the user prompt is $ (should be %) not that this is a major detail but I found the loading up procedures arcane and poorly documented and I would like to be sure that the prompt is not a symptom or sign of a major screw up elsewhere. As a side issue - I would like to put up gnuemacs. I can do it in my sleep on a sun but is there anything to watch for on an apollo?. I noticed that there are emacs support files hidden in the guts somewhere? How do I get at them? Do I need them? Jerry Freedman, Jr "Why did jfjr@mbunix.mitre.org Unix come from the east?"

As you have probably figured out by now, you are not running the /bin/csh but the /bin/sh. If you want help changing this, please let me know. > As a side issue - I would like to put up gnuemacs.
