I just got three dn3500's, two with cartridge and 170 meg disk.
I am an experienced Sun user but I am fairly ignorant of sys5.
The configuration options (aegis_bsd.small etc) are
confusing and I don't think I want to eat up all my
disk space with the large sys5_bsd_aegis option. I want
the best I can get (for me that would be bsd large) but
I would hate to miss good stuff by being parochial in
my choices, I want to get the best out of me and the best
out of the machines. Any advice??

The critical Apollo specific stuff will be loaded automatically. Maurice E-MAIL : sharp@ksi.cpsc.UCalgary.CA EAN : sharp@calgary.CDN

Any advice?? I believe chapter 7 of the release notes give you the info you are looking for. You should have a hard copy of the release notes with your documentation. You will also find a copy on line: /install/doc/apollo/os.*.10.1__notes. To summarize, you can load up the bsd4.3, sys5, aegis large system for about 90 meg. So you can have everything.
