I am trying to install the ISC VP/ix Rev 2.0.0 version on my ESIX Rev. C system. I get an error that says the file management system is not installed and so it fails to install VP/ix. Any ideas? I would like to talk to someone who has done it. ESIX claims that VP/ix will work with ESIX. Thanks for the help. -- \ / C r o s s r o a d s C o m m u n i c a t i o n s /\ (602) 941-2005 300|1200|2400 Baud 24 hrs/day / \ hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!chandler

There is a simple solution: create the following files which should contain some type of note that they were created as dummy files or something. They cannot be empty, I've been told. Create: /usr/lib/installed/Files/fm.name /usr/options/fm.name to install the basic disks, and: /usr/lib/installed/Files/kc.name /usr/options/kc.name to install the second package (it wants the 386/ix Kernal Config. stuff). After you have created these files, everthing should install fine; it did for me. Hope this helps, ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Tim Melton stdtm@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu!tims386!stdtm //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I get an error that says the file management system is not installed In ICS UNIX they split the some stuff into smaller packages. In ESIX you have them in the BASE system (First 9 disks). You need to make two dummy files is /usr/options it get ICS packages to install. The first is fm.name (File Management) you also should make a kc.name (kernal config). Just put one line in these files say dummy for VP/ix or something, that way you dont see gaps when you do a displaypkg. -- Jeff Ellis ESIX SYSTEM/V UUCP:uunet!zardoz!everex!jde US Mail: 1923 St. Andrew Place, Santa Ana, CA 92705
