We received our DECstation 5000/200 last week, with Ultrix 4.1. I did the Basic Installation (for now, at least), and am manually loading subsets. Has anyone else had trouble loading the Unsupported Subsets? I try to use "setld" to do this (identically to loading the Supported ones), and all the ones I try crap out with a message sh5: usr/etc/subsets/[subset name].inv: cannot open setld: System contains files which cannot be overwritten It subsequently leaves a ".dw" file in the /usr/etc/subsets directory. Man pages say this is a "subset corrupt" lock file. My supposition would then be that my distribution TK50 was bad. But setld cranks away at the tape for a while before spitting out the messages, and I think it finds the subset on tape. Also, the error messages don't particularly seem to mesh with the man pages description of the .dw file. Any help/experience/pointers are greatly appreciated. I figured I'd try this forum before calling DEC support and waiting on the phone up to 30 mins :-) -- S.
