Hello folks, I am having a problem with diskless client installation on a MicroVAX II running Ultrix 3.1. I need to install ULTDL031 subset before I do anything else. However, ULTDL031 depends on ULTDL030 and so I cannot install it without ULTDL030. Guess what, I cannot find ULTDL030 on the installation media. I tried all the avenues open to me to find out if a subset ULTDL030 exists, but to no avail. Is there such a subset? Is it really needed (otherwise, I can edit ULTDL031.ctrl and remove the DEPS="ULTDL030" line from it)? If it is needed, how can I get it? Thanks a lot. -- sudhakar sudha@kbesrl.me.uiuc.edu

You can get around this by doing a `touch /usr/adm/subsets/ULTDL030.lk' to create the lock file that claims the software set is loaded. I had the problem back aways when trying to load DECnet on a 3.1c machine and DECnet went bananas claiming it couldn't be loaded because it couldn't find Ultrix 3.0 loaded on the machine -- they have a generic V3.0 DECnet that doesn't realize that Ultrix 3.1 is a kosher substitute for 3.0. >Is there such a subset?

Somebody who knows what they're talking about should probably answer this. -sb -- ---------------------------------------------- MA Bell: (708) 260-4110 --------- Stefan Brandle UUCP: ...!{obdient,uunet!tellab5}!wheaton!stefan Wheaton College or stefan@wheaton.UUCP Wheaton, IL 60187 "But I never claimed to be sane!"
