hello, I am a novice unix user and have just received AU/X 2.0 and installed it for the first time. My problem is that I have an Apple 160mb SC hard disk and when I'm in the Finder it says that I have 39mb in the disk and only 12mb available. I installed A/UX according to the A/UX Installation Guide using the Standard A/UX System partition. When it asked me for the disk type I chose HD 160 SC (CDC Wren V HH). If it makes a difference, I opened the case and found out that it is an Imprimis drive. Is this the way it is supposed to be or have I done something wrong? I would try reading the manuals if I had them. thanks in advance carl <csnyder@lance.tis.llnl.gov>

I assume you mean these numbers are shown in the title bar for the / window. They apply to the / filesystem: a total of 51 MB (39MB used, 12MB free, ie. available). If you have made a filesystem in the additional A/UX partition on your disk (slice 3 assuming you used a canned partitioning scheme, i.e. /dev/dsk/c?d0s0 where ? is the SCSI ID of the disk), AND you have mounted that filesystem on a directory under root, you will see different numbers when you open the mount-point directory under the Finder. For example, I have an 80MB hard disk, with one filesystem, mounted at /d2. The Finder tells me the / has 42,480K in disk, 6,066K available. It says /d2 has 45,335K in disk, 24,162 available. If you did not yet make a filesystem on slice 3, you'll need to do so (The partitioning programs do not do this), and you'll need to mount the filesystem. See Chapter 4 of "Setting up Accounts and Peripherals", one of the manuals in your A/UX Accessory kit. Vicki Brown A/UX Development Group Apple Computer, Inc.
