I just installed ULTRIX V4.1 from the CDROM on a virgin system. The installation was uneventful, and it seemed that the installation automatically did the mandatory update. Is that correct, or do I have to manually do the mandatory update, or is there none? Also, when I tried to install DECnet from the same CD, setld complains that "DNPBASE400 requires the existence of the UDTBASE400 subset to operate correctly." As best I can tell, the UDTBASE400 subset ain't on the distribution media. Does that mean that to install DECnet from the V4.1 media I also need the V4.0 media? Do I risk trashing my V4.1 stuff by installing the V4.0 stuff? _________________________________________________________________________ Philip A.

Do I risk trashing my V4.1 stuff by installing the We did the same rather uneventful install last weekend (Ultrix 4.1 and DECnet 4.0(?)). The DECnet install also compained about not finding the UDTBASE400 subset. So I manually created the lock files to make it appear that the 4.0 subsets were loaded: /bin/cp /dev/null /usr/etc/subsets/UDTBASE400.lk /bin/cp /dev/null /usr/etc/subsets/UDTBIN400.lk /bin/cp /dev/null /usr/etc/subsets/UDTCOMM400.lk So far, everything seems to work ok.

It asks if you have a upgrade tape, and if so it loads it during the regular installation.

What you do have to do is execute the following: cd /usr/etc/subsets foreach i ( U*410.lk ) touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' ` touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/ctrl/' ` touch ` echo $i | sed -e 's/410/400/' | sed -e 's/lk$/scp/' ` end chmod 744 U*400.scp This creates the 4.0 control files so products like DECnet think that 4.0 is installed. This is mentioned in the 4.1 release notes (or installation guide). Roland -- Roland J.

That is correct behavior, you have to put in the mandatory upgrade. >Also, when I tried to install DECnet from the same CD, setld complains that >"DNPBASE400 requires the existence of the UDTBASE400 subset to operate >correctly." What you need to do is the following. Go to /usr/etc/subsets and # touch UDTBASE400.lk UDTBIN400.lk UDTINET400.lk UDTMAN400.lk setld will now assume that those subsets have been created and will properly install DECnet. >_________________________________________________________________________ >Philip A.
