We replaced SCO Xenix/386 on one platform with the UNIX component of ODT 1.0. Since we don't yet have the UNIX SDS, we attempted to install our old Xenix/386 SDS. NO GO! SCO says it is not designed for the UNIX platform, and - if we do ever figure out how to do it - SCO won't support it. We confirmed this problem with a similarly failed attempt to install the SCO Xenix version of B News (we've since installed the UNIX counterpart). So how about it, guys and gals? Is there a reasonable sequence of commands that might allow one to take the files on these (tar) diskettes, run brand against it, etc. such that one can get Xenix SDS (or other problematic packages) running under SCO UNIX?
