this is for the person who wanted the prom environmental for an autoreboot after, say, a power outage i tried sending you email, but my mailer couldn't find your host the correct prom is 'c' >> setenv bootmode c for cold restart thanks lara ps. while i'm here, i want to stress one thing that i've seen people get very confused on it has to do with inst. automatic install does not _necessarily_ do just defaults. automatic inst looks at your inst history and then installs that. so, if you installed man pages in 3.2, and you do an auto inst of 3.3, in theory it should install the man pages if you removed your hist, you've corrupted your hist, or you're installing os for the first time on a virgin disk, then automatic defaults to manual/default this is one of the main reasons why you should ONLY load maintenance tapes automatically: it reads the hist file to see what was loaded and then only updates those files. thanks for your time and bandwidth ,--------------------------------. ^/\ //\\ /\_/\ / Lara J Allen \ oo \ U // /\ / o o \ / Silicon Graphics | (*)~/____// //\\ \~(*)~/ < (415) 335-1609 | ~ , | ` \/ ^ / \ or | \ ___\ \ | \|| || \ lara@sgi.sgi.com / ||\\ |/.\ \ '|| || `--------------------------------' (/ \) (/ (/ \)()-()) yorgi -- ,--------------------------------. ^/\ //\\ /\_/\ / Lara J Allen \ oo \ U // /\ / o o \ / Silicon Graphics | (*)~/____// //\\ \~(*)~/ < (415) 335-1609 | ~ , |
